Topic: Teaching Requirement
• A requirement for alternative solution for interactive white board technology to replace existing traditional projector based technology. • Software solutions to help improve productivity engage students and reduce the needs for extensive teacher training. Challenges The challenges facing iBoardTouch were in: • How to enable teachers to interact with students remotely. • Control of student documentation/work from teacher to student and vice versa • Helping students to learn via videos, narrated by teachers in a live environment, in singles and in groups. • Full interaction between all students between each other in different locations controlled by the teacher. Actions The actions iBoardTouch took to address these challenges were: • Worked with teachers/ICT administrator to help deliver a detailed solution that would fulfill the initial requirement. • Re-developed and modified the iBoardTouch VCC application to help deliver the challenges posed by the teachers. • Trained teachers on iBoardTouch Real-time collaborative and Interactive technologies to help deliver a successful solution within the Academy. Results iBoardTouch actions resulted in: • iBoardTouch successfully used as a teaching aid. Enables teachers to show bespoke presentations, videos, and teach students on a one to one basis or whole class based interactive environment. • iBoardTouch i65, i70 sales as well as iDeskPro AIO purchases with further sales into 2013/14 planned. iBoardTouch provided a range of products within the Academy that will allow the teachers to interactively teach / collaborate through Interactive Large Format Touchscreens and All in One Integrated desktop PC’s to students located locally and globally via iBoardTouch hardware and VCC Cloud Software. |
" We moved from our old interactive whiteboards to iBoardTouch, as staff were finding the quality of the projectors not at a very good standard and children were finding it difficult to read the boards. Since we have used iBoardTouch we have found them to be far clearer and easier to use. The children and staff love them! The IWB software bundled with the iBoards is extremely intuitive and found our teachers can start using it straightaway, which enhances the learning in the classroom. We have lots of files from other software which we are able open seamlessly on iBoards. We rolled out iBoards across the school when the projector based interactive boards failed and will recommend iBoards to other schools who are looking to upgrade their technology. " |
