10. Interactive Whiteboard
 Year 8 “Understanding Drugs” differentiated unit
- A series of IWB lessons that provide core activities as
well as three differentiated options based on Blooms
Taxonomy
- Benefits to student learning:
• Teachers can direct students at the appropriated time to
either the structured, core or extension activity
• Students can work independently through the IWB once
they are downloaded from the intranet or teachers can
choose to do some activities as a whole class and then
allow students to work independently once they reach the
differentiated activities
• Students complete tasks which are most suited to their
ability level and therefore increase their engagement.
• Lesson resources such as video, worksheets, websites are
centralised in one file with the use of hyperlinks.
