USE THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD IN TEACHING BIOLOGY

In recent years, with the rapid development of Information Communication Technology (ICT), integrating multimedia presentation tools to perform better teaching has become easier in today’s classroom. Among many ICT systems, the innovation and introduction of IWB has not only changed the traditional classroom but symbolizes a key revolution in the history of whiteboard development. Researchers have identified a number of advantages of using IWB in teaching and learning: flexibility and versatility, multimedia/multimodal presentation, improving teaching efficiency, supporting planning and the development of resources, improving students’ skills of using ICT technology, interactivity and participation during course, improving students’ learning motivation, and improving students’understanding. Following the trend of integrating IWB into teaching, this research tries to understand how to make good use of the advantages of IWB to make students have better learning effectiveness on junior high school Biology. The goal of this paper is to design interactive teaching strategies with Interactive WhiteBoard (IWB) and investigate their effectiveness on teaching biology.
