Aside from learning more about Glow on the 10th of January 2017, we also had the chance to learn more about why the use of interactive whiteboards are useful within learning and why there is such a strong emphasis on it today in schools.
The main benefit of using interactive white boards it that it caters for all learners, such as Visual learners as these type of learners will benefit from a straight forward view of what is presented on the board and they learn better by watching videos and looking at pictures. The interactive white board is also very beneficial for kinaesthetic and tactile learners as they benefit from getting the opportunity to touch and move things around the board and like to highlight various elements. Lastly, they also provide benefits in the learning of audio learners as they can be included in class discussions.
Within the classroom, importance of the interactive whiteboard within learning is emphasised as it is a powerful tool, as it contributes to interactivity and collaboration throughout children’s learning. It is also essential throughout various lessons within schools as it is memorable, informed and captivating and so more children will be enjoying learning and getting more involved.
