Teachers who use technology in the classroom may be more effective with students. Today's students are all about immediate gratification and even when in school, this still holds true. If educators don't change the old ways of instructing, the leaders of tomorrow may not have learned much. It is up to them, as professionals, to alter their ways to meet the ever-changing needs of their pupils. Being aware of different types of technology that are available is imperative to understanding how it can best be utilized.

Teaching With Interactive Whiteboards

Interactive whiteboards are essentially whiteboards that are hooked up to a computer and a projector. These resources can be used as a whiteboard, but with a benefit of being able to save each day’s work as a computer file for future reference. This is a definite perk for those students that are absent and need to see the lesson taught over.

In addition, internet sites and interactive games can be taught for all to see. Videos from sites such as Teacher Tube or United Streaming are able to be broadcast for all to hear and see, with the help of small plug-in speakers. Probably the best feature of interactive whiteboards is the idea that students can interact with virtual manipulatives (such as counters, thermometers, and protractors). Even the school district with a low budget can appreciate the money-saving bonuses from investing in interactive whiteboards for the classroom.
