WHAT IS THE CPD PROGRAMME ABOUT?BACKGROUND
-A resource for school-based CPD (5 co-authors) has been published by Open University Press
-The aims of this resource are: to guide us in building on what we do now by trying out some new ideas for using the IWB in our classroom; to offer a tool for analysing classroom interaction – how could using the IWB help to improve the quality?
- It links to freely available online resources

ACTIVITY 1 - DISCUSSIONCLASSROOM DIALOGUE SO FAR…
Have you used classroom dialogue supported by the IWB in lessons? If yes, how? Concrete examples.
Were there any benefits in using dialogue supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?
Were there any challenges in using dialogue supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?
ACTIVITY 2 - SHARING and REFLECTINGCLASSROOM DIALOGUE SO FAR…
Share your concrete examples
Questions, comments, reflections
VIDEO EXAMPLE 1
Group interaction at the interactive whiteboard
A clip illustrating a group interaction at the interactive whiteboard. Students modelled some of the features of classroom dialogue demonstrated by their teachers e.g. changing their mind and checking for agreement/disagreement.
VIDEO EXAMPLE 2
Brainstorming ideas as a class using the interactive whiteboard
A clip from a history lesson on causes of wars illustrating co-construction of knowledge through acceptance of students’ ideas and building on each other’s ideas.
VIDEO EXAMPLE 3
Drawing objects on the interactive whiteboard together: collectively
constructing knowledge
This clip illustrates how students are building on each other’s ideas as they create a joint picture of a trench – this is a nonverbal kind of 'dialogue.
VIDEO EXAMPLE 4
Dialogue after interactive whiteboard use in a secondary history class
This clip illustrates the rich dialogue that ensued when the teacher posed the question ‘Is it possible for us to imagine the experience of trench warfare?’ after using a variety of multimedia resources on the interactive whiteboard in the previous two lessons.
ACTIVITY 3 - DISCUSSION
- How did the clips illustrate the use of the IWB for supporting dialogic teaching?
-- Discuss how useful/feasible these activities and strategies are in your own setting.
THINK ABOUT AN UP AND COMING LESSON OF YOUR OWN …
Explore the ’Resource Bank’ and collection of video clips
Are any of these ideas useful to you?What other applications of them can you think of?What might be effective with your particular students?
School policy
Student responsibility
Support staff (TAs etc.)Plan for
discussion
Teacher ready to learn, to
change
Derived from Diane Rawlins' table, here are some concrete,
specific elements that can foster dialogic teaching and learning.
