 By utilizing state of the art interactive whiteboards in the classroom, the teachers at The American School of Bangkok are able to produce multi-dimensional learning experiences that accommodate all the preferred learning styles of our students.
So, what is an Interactive whiteboard? The interactive whiteboards at The American School of Bangkok are solid-state, impact-resistant whiteboards with the latest advances in digital electromagnetic sensing technology.
How does the interactive whiteboard work?
- Images from a computer are projected on to the interactive whiteboard turning it into a very large computer screen.
- The screen can be used to display computer software, web pages, CD ROMs and videos from a variety of sources. It can replace the chalk, white or roller board, OHP, video recorder and TV.
- Unlike a projection screen, the interactive whiteboard is ‘active’. As you point or click on icons on the board, using your finger or an appropriate ‘stylus pen’, the action transmits to the computer. So instead of opening a computer program by double clicking on a mouse, you simply tap twice on the icon displayed on the whiteboard.
What are the benefits? The interactive whiteboard has numerous benefits for students. By being able to project a spectrum of learning resources and activities the interactive whiteboard makes the experience of learning that much more enjoyable for them. |
