Step-by-step video guide to Interactive Whiteboards

Using Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) is very easy and can really help engage and motivate your students.

There are many different types of activities you can try in your classroom even if you don't have specially designed IWB resources. You don't need much to use the IWB effectively in the classroom. You can use pictures (ask your students to bring some of their own!) or PDFs with worksheets you'd normally print out and distribute in class. You can also use Student's CD-ROMs attached to their course books or Workbooks.

Not sure how to do it? Watch our step-by-step video guide to making the most of your IWB.
