Abstract

Interactive whiteboard (IWB) technology is present in a large number of Australian primary schools. Despite the rapid increase in availability of this technology over the last five years, previous research suggests that the technology is being used for sophisticated transmission style teaching as opposed to constructivist approaches. This paper presents findings of a project which considered the implementation of IWB technology in three Victorian primary mathematics classrooms. The case studies explored the teaching strategies adopted by three teachers as they embarked on the use of IWB technology as an integral component of mathematical activities with the support of professional development.
