Dear Petya,
One of the easiest ways to use the Interactive Whiteboard is to make it like a cinema screen.
Go to the computer which is connected to the Whitebard and enter a colourful Worksheet into the computer. When you click on ActivInspire it should display your Worksheet on the screen on the wall.
Fantastic! Now, every Student is looking at a Gigantic copy of your Worksheet. Everything you highlight on the Computer is highlighted on the screen. "Read this highlighted sentence, please, Student!" "Answer this question, please!" "How do you pronounce this word, please?"
When you enlarge the computer image, the �cinema � image enlarges also, so it is possible to concentrate on certain words and phrases. It is exactly the same as pointing at the Worksheet with your finger, but 10 times bigger. It is so much easier to get ALL students to concentrate on the same thing at the same time, because there is only ONE image to see, and nothing to distract.
You don �t need to learn any new Whiteboard rules yet, because you are simply using the Computer as normal. However, it looks very impressive on the big screen.
If you have a Powerpoint Presentation, or a CD film --- Excellent! Put it into the computer. Now all students can see it without moving from their seats. This is REALLY impressive.
Good luck!
Les
