Sharing Not Staring

Seventeen Interactive Whiteboard Lessons                       for the English Classroom

by Trevor Millum and Chris Warren

 Sharing Not Staring allows teachers to use the interactive whiteboard in ways which purposefully tap into the huge potential to make teaching more interactive, more creative, more exciting and more relevant to today’s students.

 The approaches fall into the following broad categories:

• Spotlight and word cover / reveal effects

• Text organisation - enabling sequencing and exploration of syntax

• PowerPoint - developing the creative potential of this often overused and misused tool

• Word -  animating, mapping and organising text

• Image, Moving Image and Flash - discovering the impact and potential of well-chosen still images or video-clips. Flash programs that have specific  applications with words can add to effective use of English.

A CD with all material needed for each lesson is included.
