Enhancing student performance with Interactive White board in classroom


Educators have you ever heard about interactive whiteboard in classroom ? What do you think this concept can be ?


Have a look at the ideas about this concept that I got from










An Interaction white board as adopted from

http://www.traceboard.co.za/?Task=system&CategoryID=27631&HeadingText=Use+in+Education+

Here are some ideas taken from the website

http://www.traceboard.co.za/

Application Features of a TRACEBoard interactive whiteboard:

"Spotlight" or magnify a specific area.
Switch effortlessly from pen to mouse.
Move and resize objects.
Converts free form to text using handwriting recognition.
Save time with drag and drop applications.
Record your live sessions (audio visual) to replay later.
Customise your TRACETools toolbar to meet class and training needs.
Snapshot screen and save images in JPG, BMP, TIFF, WMF, HTM, PDF, PCT, MacPaint, PSD, PNG, Quicktime Image and TGA formats.
Save favourites for tried and tested lessons.
Scroll so you never run out of space.
Add notes, highlight and add emphasis to images.
Hide and reveal questions.
Draw shapes, forms and create models in a "live" classroom session.
Real-time playback.

Hi Ntsako

Sorry for being off topic. My comment is based on your profile. I've been wondering why you still regard yourself as being young. For me your picture and age do not reflect that at all.

You also are possing a contradiction in that you referred to yourself as an elder at the same time.
Sorry bra...at 40 you, not getting any younger

About your comment about my profile why I still regard my self as a young man.Look at what (Craig & Baucum,2002:5)regard as young adult. They regard ages from 18-21years to 40 years as young adulthood and middle adulthood as 40years to 60-65 years while older adulthood is from 60-65 years to death. So in my opinion you may be partialy right about the stages of human life span if you only consider the middle adult hood.

On issue of contradiction on what I refer to myself as an Elder let me explain it in this way an elder is a leader in the Christian church.It is a divinely appointed office that is held by men who are able to teach sound doctrine , refute error, be of good reputation,having bealiving children , who manage their households well. So being an elder is a high calling. You may verify the facts about an elder on this website http://www.carm.org/christianity/-church/elder-church

I hope now you wiil understand why the profile is like that.
