Electronic devices are becoming increasingly popular in today’s modern classrooms. Two significant
devices are interactive whiteboards (IWBs) and tablets, which are making a great impact on teaching and
learning.
An IWB is a large screen connected to a computer. The teacher and students use special pens or touch to
control the board and write on it. They can also show videos and do interactive activities on the board. This
helps capture students’ attention and make the lesson more dynamic. Meanwhile, a tablet, such as an iPad or
an Android device, is a handheld computer which students can use for various purposes. For example, they
can access e-books, use educational apps, and collaborate with their classmates. School tablets are portable
and provide access to a vast resource of educational contents. However, both IWBs and tablets have
drawbacks. They are costly, so not all schools can afford them. Besides, there are potential technical issues,
and much time and effort are needed to train teachers and students to use them effectively.
While challenges exist, these electronic devices help create a more interactive and engaging learning
environment in today’s classrooms. Therefore, schools should consider using them appropriately.
