Cambridgeshire Interactive Whiteboard Project
| Using interactive whiteboards to learn and teach about locality |
The accounts and materials on this page are the outcomes of a GA/DfES funded Local Project which took place in 2005. Two Cambridgeshire advisers and four of their primary schools were involved in the project in collaboration with the GA. Fiona Street, Secondary Strategy Consultant and Adrian Shepherd, Primary ICT Consultant were the advisers.
|
The GA’s objective for the Local Project was to work in a way that was geographically innovative for the teachers concerned in order to provide ideas and resources which could be shared with teachers nationally. The teachers had recently received interactive whiteboards so using them effectively for geography was the focus taken for the project.
The Zip File below contains documents which explain the project, planning structures and evaluations of using the whiteboards for developing locality geography.

Below are the co-ordinators' reflections on what they learned from the project. You could use the evaluations with your own staff on a training session or at a staff meeting to stimulate discussion and illustrate how IWBs are developing improved geography learning and teaching:

The IWB resources produced by schools |
The four schools involved were Burrowmoor, Peckover, Leverington and Beaupre. They created a range of interactive whiteboard resources based around maps and photos to investigate their own locality and contrasting seaside localities in Norfolk (Hunstanton) and East Sussex (Brighton). The GA has not been able to make all the IWB resources available on the web due to copyright issues relating to commercial photos and maps. The ideas and activities created here are, however, transferable to any locality.
The resources produced by Peckover School are available to view as they were created and can be downloaded below:

We are grateful to Adrian Shepherd of Cambridgeshire LEA who has provided templates for any teacher to use and adapt to their chosen locality, based on the work done by the geography co-ordinators at the other three schools.
