[Year 12 IPM] OT Electronic White Boards

[Mark Scott]

A method that is great for the visual learners amongst our students but
what about the other 75% of students.

But they do look good.

I used one on one of my teaching rounds in conjunction with a projector.
It was great in that I could quickly bring up the virtual pegboard found
at matti.usu.edu.au, quickly show the students how to use it using my
finger as the mouse and then set them going to produce their own
tessellations. I suppose in one sense it was just electronic chalk and
talk, but it meant I could quickly illustrate how to use the tool so
they could then learn the work in a more hands on fashion. It was
probably the most productive class I had with them...

Of course, balanced against this is the cost. And the fact that the
equipment didn't appear to get highly used.
