Interactive Whiteboard is an ideal tool for teaching at schools





































Our world is changing, and information and communication technology (ICT) is central
to this change. These advances in ICT have dramatically changed the learning and teaching process, and have expanded new learning opportunities and access to educational resources
beyond those traditionally available.

Researchers have concluded that ICT has become one of the main building blocks worldwide as it permeates the business environment, underpins the success of modern corporations, and provides governments with an efficient infrastructure. ICT is viewed as a tool bringing dramatically changes in organisations and departments. The introduction of ICT to our schools has created new possibilities for learners and educators to engage in new ways of information selection, gathering and teaching.

Educators in Khayelitsha seem to agree with the above statements as they embraced the new technologies at their schools. Educators are showing the variety of activities that can be done using the Interactive Whiteboards. Technology is not there at schools to replace nor threaten educators but it is seen as one of the tools/resources to enhance teaching and learning.
