Workshop: "Interactive Whiteboards for Language Teaching"
Wednesday 9th October 2002
University of Hull
10:30 - 16:30
Cost: 25:00 GBP

This workshop, led by Ros Walker, will look at the effective use of 
interactive whiteboards in the classroom. The focus of this workshop will 
be on the emerging methodology for effective use of the whiteboards.

The workshop will be based on a Promethean interactive board and will be 
suitable for those with little or no previous knowledge of the boards.

The morning will consist of demonstrations and hands-on practice with the 
board, highlighting the key functions of the board for language teachers. 
Examples of good practice will be combined with time to reflect and discuss 
teaching with the board.

In the afternoon session participants will use the whiteboard themselves to 
present work, prepared on laptops during the workshop.

There will also be demonstrations of some of the other leading commercially 
available interactive whiteboards.

Ros Walker is a member of staff at Hull University, based in the Institute 
for Learning. She is working on a two year research project, funded by 
NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts). The 
project aims to promote excellence in teaching with Interactive 
Whiteboards, through the identification of best practice, the development 
of appropriate training models and the development of digital resources, 
including those for MFL. Ros is a qualified and experienced teacher of 
languages in secondary and adult education.
