What Does This Look Like In The Classroom
Interactive whiteboards are used to display digital texts in effective and meaningful ways
Interactive whiteboards allow your children to visualise mathematical concepts as well as touch and write on the board to further develop their mathematical skills

.
Your children are used to being taught through the traditional mathematical sources such as through using textbooks and worksheets. ICT’s are a part of our everyday lives and with ICT’s constantly improving and changing it is the role of teachers to ensure that what is being taught and how it is being taught is relevant to the students. ICT’s are already a major component of your children’s personal lives and will continue to be in a major component of their developing lives.
Using ICT’s in the classroom allow your children to learn through multiple mediums which increases their skill in using the ICT and allows for their individual learning needs and styles to be catered for (Gardner & Moran, 2006).
ICT’s allow your children to develop additional skills and senses whilst in their normal mathematics classroom such as the ability to see, hear, touch and communicate which are all integral abilities used in other aspects of their education and lives (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, n.d.).
