Description
A practical, hands-on workshop that shows teachers how to move beyond simply displaying slides and teach interactively. You will learn to write, draw and explain live using a pen tablet (or a stylus/mouse alternative), build your own interactive boards with drag-and-drop, matching, labelling and quiz activities, and share them with students through a link, QR code, WhatsApp or Google Classroom so students can work on them from their own phones or computers.
By the end of the session, you will have created and shared at least one complete interactive board for your own subject and planned a 5-step interactive lesson for your next class.
Suitable for teachers of any grade, from Primary to College level.
