Teachers' Pedagogic Design of Digital Interactive Whiteboard Materials iUK Secondary School

By Carey Jewitt, The Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education,

Teachers have always made texts for use in the classroom. The wide spread in- troduction of Interactive whiteboard (IWB) technology into UK classrooms, and the screen more generally, makes the multimodal resources of color, image, dynamic movement, and sound newly available for pedagogic design in newly connectable ways. These facilities present teachers with new questions about how to design and use teaching materials, new possibilites and constra- ints. This presentation will examine teachers' design of digital multimodal resources for IWBs and the influence of prevalent policy discourses of interac- tivity, multimodality and fast pace influence on teacher's digital materials for the IWB.
