Day One – IWBs Support and Extend Intellectual Rigour

During the sessions on Day One participants learn how to use an IWB to enable students to manipulate information and ideas in ways which transform their meaning and implications; understand that knowledge is not a fixed body of information; and to coherently communicate ideas, concepts, arguments and explanations with rich detail. The day will focus on how an IWB can be used to foster in students a deep understanding of important, substantive concepts, skills and ideas. Such pedagogy treats knowledge as something that requires active construction and requires students to engage in higher-order thinking and to communicate substantively about what they are learning.

Day Two – IWBs Support and Extend Meaning, Relevance and Significance

Day Two is about using the IWB to support and extend the Meaning, Relevance and Significance of student learning in the world beyond the classroom. During the sessions on Day Two participants learn how to use an IWB to engage students with real, practical or hypothetical problems which connect to the world beyond the classroom, which are not restricted by subject boundaries and which are linked to their prior knowledge.

Day Three – IWBs Support and Extend Quality Learning Environments

Quality Learning Environments refers to pedagogy that creates classrooms where students and teachers work productively in an environment clearly focused on learning. Such pedagogy sets high and explicit expectations and develops positive relationships between teachers and students and among students. During the sessions on Day Three participants learn how to provide opportunities through an IWB for students to influence the nature of the activities they undertake, engage seriously in their study, regulate their behaviour and to understand the explicit criteria and high expectations of what they are to achieve.

Day Four – IWBs Support and Extend Diversity and Community

During the sessions on Day Four participants learn how to provide opportunities through an IWB for students to know about and value a range of cultures, create positive human relationships, respect individuals, and help to create a sense of community.
