Welcome to the Warwick House Teachers’ Blog
The
Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) have now
been with us for over nine months and I’m sure, as a teaching collective in
three thriving centres, we have learnt many new ways of using them and have
tried out new resources from the Web. We may have mentioned them to other
teachers and have commented on who they could be for and what use they are.
Hopefully
this will be a space where we can share resources, comments on them and ask any
questions about them to the person who shared the resource, beyond our
immediate colleagues.
Probably
the most important way that we can incorporate new repertoires into our
teaching is to dialogue and suggest things, as we would do face to face. The
only difference here is that we can share our ideas and opinions without having
to be in the same place at the same time.
Some of
these activities may be seen as fun activities to finish a class, others may be
original ways to introduce a type of class. Other resources may be whole
classes which offer a different way of dealing with sat reading which can be
used in addition to the course book.
Do
remember, that it is not only children who like to have fun. Adults and
teenagers may find different approaches useful, too. The IWBs and the internet
have a huge potential to stimulate students into new ways of learning.
Two words
of caution before we start posting: please do use legal resources and if you do
copy (digitally) something please do put the source from where you obtained it.
Once again welcome
to the blog cum resource bank. We are looking forward to sharing our ideas and
working together on this blog. Who knows, it might even replace training
meetings.
