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.]]> 2022-12-13 18:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419619047 Another scholarly article about interactive whiteboard. s1308611 https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419723565 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:]]> 2022-12-13 19:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419723565 The first question ( differences in attitudes toward using interactive whiteboard in teaching ): s1308611 https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419786401 The results indicate that there are actually a great differences in attitudes between the two groups. For example, for the first group which they call it experimental group who used the electronic interactive board in teaching, the mean was (110.58 )which is higher than control group who used conventional way ( 94.72). Table 1]]> 2022-12-13 21:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419786401 The second question (differences in dimension cognitive motivation and the total score due to using the electronic interactive whiteboard in teaching) s1308611 https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419787189 According to the cognitive motivation also there are differences between the two group. For experimental group those who did use electronic interactive whiteboard, their scores are higher than those who did use conventional way in all the dimensions including Acquire knowledge, risk 
 of acquiring knowledge, employment of knowledge Cognitive motivation. Table 2]]> 2022-12-13 21:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419787189 The third question ( differences in academic achievement due to using the electronic interactive whiteboard in teaching): s1308611 https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419788672 For academic achievement, also the scores for the experimental group who did use the interactive whiteboard are higher than the control group who did use the conventional way. Table 3]]> 2022-12-13 21:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419788672 Suggestions on how we can applied interactive whiteboard in Oman: s1308611 https://padlet.com/s1308611/Padlet/wish/2419805382 * 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.
