UK National Whiteboard Network (Primary)
http://www.nwnet.org.uk/ UK National Whiteboard Network (Primary) Interactive Whiteboards can have a positive effect on teaching and learning but as with any ICT tool, the impact on teaching and learning depends on how successfully they are integrated into classroom practice. Interactive whiteboards can raise standards only if they are supported by effective teaching. It is their use to extend and transform learning that results in the greatest gains. The Network builds on the work undertaken by LEAs and schools involved in the Strategy? three pilots that focused on how to embed the effective use of ICT in learning and teaching. This development is a key part of the DfES plans for an integrated approach to embed ICT in leaning and teaching in all primary schools. |

Comparison / Reviews of Interactive White Boards IWB
http://www.lgfl.net/acitt/web/guest/freebies/Journal%2002/whiteboards2.htm Comparison / Reviews of Interactive White Boards IWB There is quite a debate about whiteboards at the moment. On the one hand thrifty ICT co-ordinators consider them an expensive luxury. On the other, those who have used them never want them to be taken away! We catalogued the debate in a previous article, but for the moment, some feedback from association members who have trailled the boards themselves. Not just in a comfy office, or a demonstration hall we might add, but in a class with children on a day to day basis |

Classroom Performance System - CPS
http://www.einstruction.com/ Use the Classroom Performance System in your classroom to inspire and engage your students. The Classroom Performance System (CPS) is an easy-to-use IR response system that obtains immediate feedback from every student. CPS Chalkboard eInstruction has partnered with GTCO Calcomp to uniquely bring this exciting new dimension to teachers currently using CPS or considering the purchase of CPS for their classroom. Though the CPS Chalkboard interface is nicely available in a wireless mode with the CPS Chalkboard tablet, the interface supports any tablet or whiteboard. Thus, one could author questions into CPS for later delivery by standing at a whiteboard and writing the questions into the CPS Chalkboard through the whiteboard or use a wired tablet. CPSOnline CPSOnline is a district-wide, standards-based reporting system giving you instant access to data collected with CPS from across the district. Use CPS to administer a benchmark test, quiz, or other type of assessment. After the session is over, teachers can easily upload the session data to the district's CPSOnline website. |
