Murcia, K. (2008). Teaching for scientific literacy with an interactive whiteboard. Teaching Science, 54(4), 17-21.
The author of this theoretical research article explains how using an interactive whiteboard (IWB) in the classroom can be used to support scientific learning in the primary classroom. The author provided details on a number of interactive scientific activities and strategies to utilize IWB in the classroom.
The author explained how IWB provided online access to real-world applications in science, and allowed learners to become engaged with the curriculum. IWB allowed learners to access a number of different learning modalities, such as visual and kinesthetic, and provided opportunities for exploration of science as it relates to popular culture and media literacy. The author noted that IWB is not a replacement for hands-on learning, but rather a complement to other learning strategies.
Through IWB, educators can approach problem-solving opportunities from another angle and provide differentiated instruction. Students will be able to interact with the material to provide deeper understanding through visual representation.
