* Sometimes to activate interactive whiteboard need internet connection and as we know that in Oman there is weakness in the network in general . In order to aply this kind of innovation we need to improve the network first.

* Ministry of Education should conduct a study to show the imprtance of implementaion of this innovation and try hard to provide not all of the schools but at least as much as they can.

* Conducting training workshops on how to use this invention to enable students and teachers to use it easily in the classroom.

* Resorting to countries that have an experience and a bright past for the application of this invention and how did they improve it.

Overview of the article:
* This article is a study aim to determine the effects of interactive whiteboard use on the development of learning attitudes, cognitive motivations, and academic performance of students in grade 8 of primary education in Oman.

* Number of students were chosen from one school as a control group using conventional way, the other group used the electronic interactive board in teaching. Through this study, results showed differences among both groups of students in attitudes toward research.

* electronic interactive whiteboards or as it know smart boards are a great illustration of modern innovations used in today’s classrooms. These whiteboards based on computer advances appear to be supplanting conventional dark or white sheets, which were once considered crucial.

* The study actually is answering three question as to mentioned if the following layer:

This video was recording in  Majan college in Sultanate of Oman by one of the faculty members, Tahseen Arshe.
In this video video he is explaining the the importance of using this interactive whiteboard but here not only for schools, colleges and universities are also included.

Tahseen Ashe, mentioned:
- He used interactive whiteboard to bring a great degree of interactivity in his lectures.
-  Control powerpoint and annotate slides  to bring a great clarity of content.
- unable him to access the internet which is a great opportunity  to involve student in the learning process.

- creating exercise and each student can access to it and also to give them an opportunity to participate through the lecture.

As well as in sachool, we need this innovation for the benefits I have mentioned above.

2-Social studies teachers have a strong belief in the benefits of using of IWB in social studies and that it is beneficial to teaching the curriculum. They think it is helpful to present historical events (mean 4.6), allows use of geographical simulation programs (mean 4.4), allows clarification of complex concepts in social studies (mean 4.3), and explains interactions between different geographical phenomena (mean 4.2) (Table 10).

# data[].attributes.body
5- Teachers also reprted that they had positive feelings about the use of IWB in their classrooms. They felt excited when using it (mean 4.7), encouraged their colleagues to use it (mean 4.5), were willing to use in all of their lessons (mean 4.3), and they reported that it facilitated discussion on the content in class (mean 4.3). A relatively small amount of concern was expressed that using IWB makes SSTs nervous (mean 2.2) (Table 7).

3- Teachers who did the queationnaire strongly believe that the use of IWB in teaching has a significant influence on the enhancement of the
quality of the learning environment, particularly making: drawings and diagrams easier to see (mean 4.75), the
learning environment more interesting (mean 4.74), presentation of materials more attractive (mean 4.47), and
presentation of materials is clearer (mean 4.68) (Table 6).

4- The impact of IWB on teachers' teaching strategies and the learning environment in the classroom was also mentioned by teachers. Researchers who looked into teachers' opinions toward adopting IWB discovered that they had favorable sentiments because it significantly alters their teaching compared to more conventional techniques.

Introduction to SMART Boards Part 1: Board Basics

# data[].attributes.body
Where traditional whiteboards and chalkboards rely on additional tools like dry markers, erasers, chalk and other whiteboard accessories, interactive whiteboards do not need any of these tools. This means that classroom costs are significantly reduced, as students also do not need to rely on materials to experience the lesson. The use of interactive whiteboards also means that there is less reliance on physical resources for teaching, as everything is online. Rather than having to waste money on printing paper, classrooms are moving to a digitised learning experience, which reduces classroom costs

SMART Boards  Why are they so easy to use?

# data[].attributes.body
An interactive whiteboard accommodates a variety of learning styles; where traditional education tools are often quite limiting. With an interactive whiteboard, primary school students can learn in a way that best fits for them. A smartboard provides access to tools and materials for audio, visual, and kinetic learners to get the most out of each classroom lesson.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Interactive Whiteboards

# data[].attributes.body
As interactive whiteboards are connected to the internet, teachers have access to an inexhaustible amount of resources for their lessons. Smartboards are online, which allows educators to rely on a myriad of sources for content, videos, games, programs and lessons. Being connected to the internet also means that lesson time is significantly enhanced, as teachers do not have to spend time writing, reading and working from a book or physical resource.

On top of offering engaging experience, smart boards also make the learning and classes more enjoyable. The digital features of interactive whiteboards mean that teachers can use online educational games, question and answering sessions, group problem solving and learning exercises to make the lesson more fun for the students.

Interactive whiteboards integrate various learning styles into one experience. Students can learn by seeing, hearing, and interacting with the board through touch. This equips teachers with new, innovative ways to teach the same subject material. Because of this, students learn better and remember more.

In 2001, Instruction released its first fully mobile interactive whiteboard. It used wireless technology to allow free movement. This allowed instructors to teach from anywhere in the classroom and removed the limitations put on the technology when it was tethered to the computer system. In 2009, instruction released a system of remotes and mini-boards that allow students to interact with the larger classroom board from their desks.

By the late 1990s, a number of improvements had been made on the design, including the addition of an eraser, colored markers and back-lighted projection. The target marketing had also changed significantly: the technology that started as an office tool was finding its most profitable sector in the K-12 educational system.

Interactive whiteboard  the direction of change or development of a situation is called a trend. Thus, trends in education are teaching and learning methods being highly applicable and bringing great value to people. Furthermore, whiteboard become an awesome educational tool where the teacher can throw their digital content up there and write, annotate on it and do all those kinds of things.
