The Value of Interactive Whiteboard Technology in Supporting Teacher Practice and Student Mathematics Achievement
Researchers involved in this project are tracking student achievement in math at 11 inner-city elementary schools in the Toronto District School Board. These schools all use SMART Board interactive whiteboards and SMART Notebook software in daily instruction. One aim of the study is to create a learning community that will help teachers develop the expertise to use interactive whiteboards to support and enrich the teaching of the elementary mathematics curriculum.
