Meetings 7 and 8

Here are the Minutes from Meeting 7.

Two particularly important things came out of this meeting. The first was the realisation that there were a large number of people present at the meeting who had not previously attended meetings of the IWB Network and that it may be appropriate for us to revisit some of the ideas that we have discussed previously. The second was the pressure that some members of the group felt under to justify the cost of the IWB as a resource. We resolved that the focus for Meeting 8 would be to discuss what particular value the IWB can bring to maths teaching and learning.

In Meeting 8 (on 8th Dec at Chesterton) we spent a very productive session producing a document that is beginning to collate the different ways in which an IWB can be used. This is a work-in-progress and we were less worried about which box particular ideas went in than in getting a good collection of ideas together. In future meetings we hope to add to and refine this document and to provide exemplar files that demonstrate each mode of use.

The "modes of use" document is here.

Here are the minutes of Meeting 8.

The next meeting will take place on Monday 2nd February, from 4:30pm to 6pm at Sawston Village College (thanks to Lily Gibbs for offering to host this meeting). All maths teachers in Cambs (and beyond!) are welcome.

Best wishes,
Mark
