Technology Combined with Good Teaching Leads to Success

This article talks about how students learn better when being taught on an interactive whiteboard instead of being taught with traditional tools. The article mainly focuses on how students were more engaged and how they were more excited to do lessons that they were not normally excited to do. The article also talks about how there was an immediate increase of scores by 17 percent in classrooms that used interactive whiteboards. The students used the interactive whiteboards when they were being taught a new lesson. The interactive whiteboards were used a lot after the teacher taught the lesson and during the lesson to engage the students.The teacher would teach the lesson and then put practice problems on the interactive whiteboard to get the students excited about practicing their lessons. The students were assessed by how well they were able to do the practice examples. It also gave the teacher a better idea of where the students were going wrong, if they did not understand the problem. It also helped the teacher because it gave the teacher the ability to see what students understood the lesson and what students could benefit from a small group, where the lesson was retaught in a different way. It provided students with feedback, because the teacher was able to look at their answers right away. So instead of the students practicing doing something that might be wrong the teacher was able to stop that and the students learned how to do it the right way.
