We are absolutely delighted that the manuscript of our next ouevre has gone to the lay-out and design people. The book is a team effort consisting of four major strands, A-D. Barney is responsible for a lot of the ideas in the first strand of the book, section A, which looks at integrating the powerful and exciting tools we can use in teaching today run through an IWB. The second strand of the book, section B, looks at integrating the software tools provided by the manufacturer (Smart, Promethean et al), and is predominantly the work of enthusiast and wizard trainer Francis Jones. The third strand of the book, section C, looks at integrating the digital course book into the language classroom, and is the result of my own love affair with ‘whiteboardable software’. The fourth and final strand of the book, section D, looks at creating your own material for using on an IWB. There are additional ideas contributed by experts and practitioners in a variety of teaching situations, plus eight Case Studies. We cannot wait to see the first proofs, and to keep you in a mildy delirious state of AN-TIC-I-PA……TION, please enjoy the fabby cover!!!

Great to see the book is about real practical ways to enhance learning with IWBs (by the looks of it) , rather than more tiresome should we/shouldn’t we arguments.
Looking forward to it.

Thanks Johanna
it was fascinating doing this – we sort of went: OK – you’ve got one (an IWB) so what are you gonna do with it…
(as opposed to: eeek – can it enhance learning etc etc)
we cannot wait to see the fruits of our labour made print!
