Smart whiteboards and the benefits of interactive learning
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the education system across the world by changing the way teaching is delivered and received. Schools and universities shifted to online learning to meet social distance guidelines, increasing technology usage.
Platforms such as Teams, Zoom or Google Classroom became wildly popular among students and teachers for participation in classes from anywhere with internet access.
The use of digital assets and interactive activities enables flexible delivery of education, allowing remote attendance without compromising educational outcomes.
With the return of students to classrooms, it’s clear that classes have changed since the pandemic. Interactive tools are now part of the curriculum. Teachers have adapted their lessons to new formats and tools, such as Smart whiteboards.
Although Smart whiteboards have been around for a long time, they’ve increased in popularity over the past few years by enhancing traditional teaching methods and increasing engagement within classrooms.
Some of the benefits of integrating Smart whiteboards into classrooms are:
- A real-time experience by letting students and teachers interact with the content. This increases attention and participation in the learning process.
- As most students are internet natives, it makes sense for schools to integrate multimedia elements into their lessons. Videos, images and interactive simulations are some resources that transform traditional classes into dynamic sessions.
- Smart interactive whiteboards are often equipped with collaborative features to facilitate teamwork and real-time problem-solving among students.
- Teachers have the tools to create and adjust content on the fly, resulting in creative dynamic lessons.
- Visual learning aids enhance student comprehension and the retention of information by offering appealing and informative presentations.
- The option of remote support allows teachers to conduct virtual lessons and interact with students learning from home.
- Teachers can create interactive activities to encourage student understanding in real-time. This gives teachers immediate feedback and the opportunity to provide personalised support to those who need it.
- Personalised and engaging interaction, as students have varying needs. Audio elements, subtitles and personalised font size help to have a positive experience in the classroom.
- Recording and sharing lessons to give students all the support needed to potentiate the understanding of the content.
In conclusion, Smart whiteboards can be great tools to enhance the learning experience by increasing the engagement of both students and teachers. Lessons transform into dynamic activities that contribute to effective and inclusive experiences.
