Interactive Whiteboards

I think that interactive whiteboards are a great tool for teaching. I enjoyed learning how to use one, and though I needed help in the mechanics of creating one, I enjoyed that,too. In fact, I created a lesson for another class after the one for this class and was able to make improvements based one the critique of the first one. I would love to have one in my classroom, because it appeals to the visual learners as well as those who are kinesthetic and tactile learners. They can play learning games on it that require them to get up and move and touch the screen. The visuals are more interesting than the chalkboard, and therefore more engaging.
I think that the interactive whiteboard is a big improvement over the traditional chalkboard because of the games that can be included, as well as the posting of pictures and videos. Also, the screen can be saved, which is a neat feature. Another advantage is that the lesson can be saved and used again the next year, as well as the ability to edit it for future classes.
