Like I had mentioned in my last post, Interactive White Boards (IWB) were not available for use when I was in the public school system. Along with never being taught using IWB's, I have never taught a lesson in class using an IWB. I have learned a great deal about IWB's, and wish I would have been able to learn from such a successful tool in the classroom.
During the IWB lesson plan project for TPTE 486, I have learned how beneficial the IWB can be for the art classroom. Some of my favorite tools that the IWB offers are the containers, and the erase to reveal tool. The tools on the IWB allows students to interact along with the lesson to become fully engaged. Learning to use visuals, promoting student participation, and actively using technology makes the classroom a successful environment.
I hope to be able to use an IWB in my future art classroom. I am aware that not all schools have the funds to provide each teacher with an IWB, and that I will need to be prepared not to rely on an IWB in that situation. If I am lucky enough to have an IWB in my classroom, it would be an essential tool for my art curriculum. The use of visual imagery, drawing tools, and clear, large projected visuals are necessary for the art class.
