Interactive Whiteboard

' England has four seasons, but do we have to have them all in one day? '   - Oscar Wilde

The principal aims for the use of whiteboards in geography are as follows:
  • Effective embedding of ICT in the geography strategy in Key Stage 1 and 2
  • Enhancing of teaching and learning in geography by developing the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom
  • Developing and sharing of resources for use in geography teaching and learning

Used creatively and effectively, interactive whiteboards have the potential to:

  • improve the quality of interactions
  • improve teacher assessment through the promotion of effective questioning
  • enhance modelling
  • redress the balance of making resources and planning for teaching
  • increase the pace of learning

The notebook files have been developed by the teachers in the East Riding Primary Interactive Whiteboard Pilot for use in geography learning and teaching.
