A new term and straight back into a training session. Wednesday morning’s training session for staff from Hartford Student Support Centre is on “Making effective use of the Interactive Whiteboard” – the rationale behind the session is to introduce what Interactive Whiteboards actually are, the basics of how they work and a presentation of SMART notebook and its interactivity with the aim of showing the potential the IWB has for enhancing the teaching and learning experience. This will be followed by a chance for staff to actually try out the SMART boards and start creating simple interactive resources.
The session is in 3 parts: (a full programme is here)
1. An Introduction to the SMART Board – “Unlocking the Potential”
2. Getting to know the Interactive Whiteboard – practical session based on staff actually using the SMART Boards
3. Adding Multimedia and finding out more about using the SMART Board.
