- Abstract
This article describes a research conducted in Panchgani, Pune, Maharashtra, India which examined different aspects of the contribution of the Interactive White Board (IWB) technology to learning and teaching processes. The research was conducted on six which implemented the Smart classroom. The smart classroom consists of an electronic whiteboard that enables interaction, writing, and surfing the Internet using didactic software that accompanies the board. The findings presented in this article are those that primarily relate to the integration of the IWBs in instruction and learning, as this is the primary technological tool that the teachers began using. This study is unique in examining different models of implementing IWB in schools in India. These include using IWB in homerooms, in laboratories, or in both. Moreover, it examines how these models are related to the number of hours that students learn in classrooms using IWB and to teacher skills in using IWB. It is found that the IWB contributes to student's engagement in the learning and understanding. Despite of the difficulty of dedicating more time to preparing lessons, the upside is greater student interest, motivation, and focus, support for different learning styles (aural and visual), materials that are more easily adapted to students with varying abilities, planning a better lesson, presenting the learning material more clearly, and a feeling that that teachers are more up-to-date. It enables interactive teaching learning.
