Interactive whiteboards evaluation |
|
In September 2003, the London Challenge announced £15 million funding for introducing interactive whiteboards into London's secondary schools. Most schools have now received whiteboards and are starting to use them to support teaching and learning, particularly in the core departments of English, Science and Mathematics.
From autumn 2004, the Institute of Education will be conducting an evaluation of the impact this is having in schools.
The evaluation
Commissioned by the DfES, the evaluation will involve brief surveys, the collection of administrative data and undertaking nine school-based case studies. It will focus on how interactive whiteboards are being used to support teaching and learning and inform the future development of the use of whiteboards in classrooms.
The final report will be completed in early 2006, but emerging findings will be reported back to schools to help them make best use of the equipment already in place.
