ICT - Smartboards
The teachers and students of Pinjarra Primary School are fortunate to have interactive smartboards available to them in each classroom. A smartboard is an electronic whiteboard that teachers can use to present and enhance their learning programs. It is powered by a computer that is attached to the smartboard and has many benefits to both teacher and student. Some of these are:
- Learners show increased motivation and enjoy the interaction this technology offers
- It makes the subject come alive
- It captures the attention of learners
- It encourages the involvement of learners in the subject
- It gives the teacher instant access to a vast array of electronic resources
- The flexibility and the scope for imaginative lesson planning is huge
- The board can accommodate different learning styles
- Students with limited motor skills can enjoy board use
- It is interactive
- It is a kid magnet!
