Author: Susan Duggan, Bishop Auckland College
Date: 2006

Summary

Susan investigated whether the use of an Interactive Whiteboard would help with the problems of teaching a large group of Level 2 Child Care Students. She hoped that use of the Whiteboard would make it easier to maintain the focus and attention of the group.

Action

The teacher devised a 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' style quiz for the group, with questions displayed on the Whiteboard and the students giving their answers via a set of voting cards. She then gathered feedback from the students via a questionnaire.

Outcomes

The feedback from the students was very positive, suggesting that this method of learning was both enjoyable and stimulating. The students also suggested some enhancements to the format which Susan is planning to incorporate in the future.
