This week I organised an after school informal session where teachers in the local Helensburgh and Cardross area were invited to come along and share ideas for Interactive whiteboards. It went really well, despite most of the attendees choosing not to demonstrate their ideas in front of the rest of the group. About 15 people turned up and the only requirement was that each person bring along an idea. Fortunately this didn’t put everyone off, and most people engaged in conversation about how they had found the whiteboard useful. I was encouraged by the numbers of our own staff (Cardross Primary) who attended, some of whom didn’t have an idea to share (tut tut!), because they were yet to use a whiteboard. Despite this, they stepped out and were willing to try and pick up a few ideas. Many of the teachers seemed to be encouraged by observing how easy it was to actually make resources, and also by hearing how there are many useful sites that provide ready made whiteboard lessons. Happy Interactive whiteboarding!
