LWICT at GSC

I used the IWB to help the Year 11 students revise.  I find it especially useful for stepping through the algorithm of a program.  I have one student at the board acting as the program counter/ instruction register and another acting as the ALU/ control unit (although I didn’t use these terms with them because they haven’t yet learned them- they will in 2007) .  The rest of the students tell the board writers what to do so everyone is involved in the revision.   It was interesting because the most twitchy student who generally
can’t concentrate while I am speaking was very involved in the revision if he was the one writing at the board.
Several students were very self concious at the IWB but most enjoyed having a try on it.
