EXPLORING THE USE OF INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS WITH DIGITAL VIDEO

 

 

 

Vicky ArmstrongVicky Armstrong explains

As a development of the work of the InterActive Education Project we were involved in research, funded by ESRC into the use of Interactive Whiteboards in UK classrooms.

Following and developing the model of working with teachers used in InterActive Education we worked collaboratively with five primary and secondary teachers.

Each teacher was videoed over three consecutive lessons which incorporated interactive whiteboards. The lessons involved the use of old and new technologies as appropriate to the decisions made about achieving learning outcomes. So other tools such as pencil and paper, web-based resources, computer applications were evident at different times.

The teachers were sent copies of the video captured from their lessons. The whole group of teachers and university-based researchers came together to consider their responses to viewing the data. Selected extracts were looked at in more detail. All involved faced the challenge of deciding what questions to ask about the classroom video data and to develop ways of analysing the video data.

The work is ongoing and we are now using the Studiocode software in our analysis.
