Dear all

=20

I'm copying below a summary of recommendations for CPD that I found from my=
 research on IWB pedagogy. Although this was conducted in primary schools=
=2C I feel the proposals apply to secondary schools as well.=20

=20

1. Transparency of whiteboard practice
Teachers need to be informed of what is considered good whiteboard practice=
 and what is mediocre teaching.=20
=20
2. The place of expertise in using ICT
=B7         It should be not assumed that if a teacher is au fait with the =
technology then he or she is also using this to advantage children=92s lear=
ning.=20
=20
=B7         Teachers who do not feel confident need specific CPD=2C prior t=
o whiteboard adoption to ensure that they are secure in their handling of b=
asic ICT skills=2C for example=2C file handling=2C word processing=2C use o=
f the Internet and use of on-screen icons.=20
=20
=B7         Teachers should be encouraged to differentiate between good and=
 poor software. Moreover in using ICT teachers need to be able to apply the=
ir knowledge to adopt and adapt appropriate software resources. Training is=
 required to appreciate the extent of ICT resources and how they can be use=
d in the classroom for high-quality teaching and learning.=20
=20
3. Time for learning
Across the spectrum of pedagogical whiteboard expertise my teachers cited =
=91time for learning=92 as a necessary requirement when =91starting out=92 =
with a whiteboard. Teachers need to both learn for themselves through pract=
ice and with others in a collaborative way to enable pedagogical progress.=
=20
=20
4. The role of the head teacher
My study of two schools provides evidence of how an effective learning Comm=
unity of practice created positive pedagogical change at one school. Heads =
and school leaders need to be aware of the pedagogical and practical implic=
ations in adopting whiteboard technology so that best possible use of the w=
hiteboard merges into the school culture. Management also has a crucial rol=
e to ensure that the technology functions efficiently.
=20
5. The role of a learning Community of Practice (CoP)
The whiteboard may provide a useful trigger for school managers to reconsid=
er pedagogy and practice. I found that informal learning thorough an effect=
ive learning community of practice provided a highly effective form of prof=
essional development. Such an informal system of learning may not be possib=
le however. A more formal process=2C through the development of a mentoring=
 system to ensure continuous=2C collaborative learning=2C as teachers adopt=
 the whiteboard is recommended. A mentoring system would have advantage for=
 all teachers=2C not only those who are new to whiteboard practice=2C but a=
lso for established experts in the school through taking a lead in the ment=
oring process. =20
=20
6. Teachers=92 personal dispositions
Teachers learn in different ways at different speeds. This research leads m=
e to propose that teachers=92 initial year of induction with whiteboard tec=
hnology is of fundamental importance if this technology is to positively af=
fect pedagogical practice. If not opportunities may be lost.=20
=20
If anyone would like more information then please get in touch.

Best wishes
Julie

Apologies =96 I should have said my experiences are solely secondary-based.=
 I know primary colleagues who have had much more positive whiteboard exper=
iences.
=20
During the last 6 years I have had the pleasure of visiting over 300 second=
ary schools (including Becta winners/ICT mark schools through to struggling=
 special measures schools) and I think I can still only count the interesti=
ng whiteboard practice I have seen on one hand. (That has been in maths mai=
nly and a bit of D&T/science in case anyone is interested).
=20
As an example I walked round a school in the summer term with a whiteboard =
in each of their 80 classrooms. During the tour only four were turned on. T=
hree were being used to click through PowerPoints and one was being used wi=
th some maths software (by the teacher). I find this a tragic waste of mone=
y. It was a decent school making good progress and yet the (good) staff had=
 not found them to be useful enough tools to use regularly. The school was =
well resourced and CPD was well planned and had a high priority so that was=
 not the issue.
=20
Why do these schools find it so hard to generate the good practice you have=
 seen? (The poor usage level is obvious due to the huge number of uncalibra=
ted boards I see)
=20
A lot of the positives often quoted are features of the software as opposed=
 to the hardware. There is no debate as to the increased quality of the sof=
tware available - I just feel there are better (dare I say more =91interact=
ive=92) ways of operating it =96 voting handsets=2C cordless mice=2C presen=
ter handsets=2C graphics tablets=2C tablet PCs (a possible solution but not=
 a wide spread one) etc. The usage of voting handsets has been the most imp=
ressive use of hardware I have seen.
=20
How long do we leave it before we accept the wide-scale whiteboard experime=
nt has not worked? Another 10 years? Have we lost some teachers from ever u=
sing ICT as a result of their whiteboard experiences?
=20
Interesting debate.
Cheers
Paul

Paul=2C I must disagree. =20
=20
With all respect=2C I fear that you are only seeing what you want to see!  =
An interactive table costs about the same as a good IWB and can only be see=
n by half the class at the most.  I wonder if you have ever had the almost =
spiritual experience of actually using an IWB with repeated classes of chil=
dren =96 I have =96 There is an overwhelming satisfaction in seeing the cla=
ss take over the board (not all at the same time!).  Your reference to the =
tablet PC (which I agree is useful) and PowerPoint still hints at the =91te=
acher in charge=92 scenario.

When I first introduced IWBs in a school some 10 years ago I soon discovere=
d that there were a vast number of different ways of using the IWB.  Perhap=
s the first is in handwriting recognition combined with brainstorming =96 w=
hereby any number of children can almost scribble their contributions on th=
e board=2C all spontaneously translated into a neat and appropriate font an=
d then easily re-arranged and exported for embedding into their own work as=
 and when they have access to a PC.
=20
Then=2C of course=2C there are so many  features such as sequence sorting=
=2C =91developing tray=92 (even at A-level)=2C use of libraries of symbols =
eg Science or Maths or word+image matching etc.
=20
I fear Paul=2C that your experiences of IWBs have been soured by poor pract=
ice=2C whereas I have been inspired by good practice from all age groups.  =
As part of my initial and cautious research I started by observing good Pri=
mary practice and soon realised that many of the initial IWB techniques cou=
ld be =91matured=92 to the standards that would not insult any student in 5=
D.
=20
Perhaps my final comment must be that having set up a situation where every=
 classroom now has an IWB any teacher can walk into any classroom and insta=
ntly have their lesson outlines up on the board before the class enters and=
 then the fun begins!

I originally wrote this 7-page document some 5 years ago=2C but I still sta=

Interesting but still nothing new. 10 years on in the UK classroom and stil=
l hardly any effective ELECTRONIC whiteboard practice to talk about =96 the=
y are the biggest and most costly mistake UK education has made and we need=
 to get away from the mentality that just because a lot of money has been s=
pent on them that we need to continue down that path (rough pr=E9cis of Chr=
is=92s reasoning in the video)

The best thing I have seen so far with a whiteboard is take it off the wall=

 people share it (if it allows multi-point access of course)

20th century technology. 19th century teacher-centric pedagogy =96 one user=

chool making good progress and yet the (good) staff had not found them to b=
