Make your IWB interactive

To make IWBs interactive, students need to be able to communicate with the board from their computers or mobile devices (as well as with board pens).

In the future, they should be able to send graphics, videos, voice and text to the 'shared' central board. But for the time-being, just being able to 'post' their responses to a question would be a positive first step.

To do this, you can use Google Docs. If you use 'Forms' you can send a question to a student, or visualise it on a website and then 'collect' student responses in real time in an Excel document. You can then create a graph to visualise the responses.

Alternatively you can use J2Vote from the company just2easy.com which is simple, effective, colourful and at 99 GBP, with a 20% discount until 13th February, possibly affordable too!
