This year Halinda has grown and expanded it's use of Interactive Whiteboard technologies. Now with IWBs in a majority of classes the sharing of lesson delivery techniques and familiarity with the tool has allowed some inventive uses of the medium for Quality Teaching.
Special school students are quite often visual learners and this predilection finds the IWB an especially useful and adaptable vehical for connecting with the communication needs and specific abilities of students.
The Special school environment needs to be a highly responsive setting where priorities for individuals are tailored and reviewed constantly. It must also be a consistent mass practice zone that allows students the full benefit of cognitive routines that can be applied across various settings. The IWB has proven a reliable and adaptable addition for the skilled Special Ed teacher.
In 2009 our classrooms will increase their alignment with at least three more IWBs for the school.
