SMART IWB Pedagogy Guides

I've developed a series of resources for helping teachers to raise student engagement and achievement through the use of IWBs. Usually the training teachers receive is a technical run through of what the buttons do and bears no relationship to how they can use the board to raise standards.

In the day long session I go throught the way the boards can be used to stimulate learning - this is based on the brain integrated learning strategies I'm involved with in my work with Roy.

The key thing is to encourage a learning diet which is kinaesthetic and involves multimedia and divergent and convergent thinking to stimulate ideas.

In the sessions I introduce learning objects which we try and discuss and the teachers get to make a related resource which reflects their particular learning needs or subject.

As you don't all have the Smart software, I can't send you the Smart file but I can send you one of the PPT presentations which cover all the ground I cover on the day and allows the teachers to go back and overlearn the key techniques.

The sheets with the blue background concentrate on pedagogical concerns. The white background slides refer back to IWB pages dealt with on the day.

I've a large number of these files on other subjects like Photo Story which link with seminars I've presented and I guess I could support on SKYPE.

I'd appreciate any feedback. Happy to discuss marketing these.
