Item Teaching kindergarten science using an interactive whiteboard : friend or foe to student learning?(Montana State University - Bozeman, Graduate School, 2013) Cornwell, Crystal May; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Peggy Taylor.This project compared teaching two science units. A weather unit was without the treatment, while the Earth and Sky unit was taught with a treatment incorporating an interactive whiteboard to display and provide student/teacher interaction(s) with educational video clips, web sites, simulations, images, and students' writing and illustrations. Data collection methods included whole group pre-, post-, and six week follow up KWL chart, teacher journal, and a student survey.Item The effects of the integration of interactive technology, specifically the smartboard and CPS clickers, on student understanding of scientific processes(Montana State University - Bozeman, Graduate School, 2013) Coulter, Brooklyne Vi; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Peggy Taylor.Interactive technology, consisting of a SMARTBoard and CPS clickers, was used in different ways to see the effects on student understanding of scientific processes. Themes in favor of using the technology included that it was fun, modeled the real world, and built confidence. Themes against its use centered on confusion, group dynamics, and pace. Some technology techniques were more successful than others, but overall, it did increase understanding, engagement, and confidence.Item The effects of Promethean boards on student achievement(Montana State University - Bozeman, Graduate School, 2012) Schaub, Michele; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Peggy Taylor.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of Promethean interactive boards when teaching math in a third grade classroom and its impact on students' knowledge of and self-confidence toward math. 1. Does the students' working knowledge of math increase when they are regularly involved in using the Pro-board for problem-solving, cooperative learning, and differentiated instruction? 2. Does students' self-confidence and enjoyment of learning math increase with the use of Pro-boards and cooperative groups? CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK. The goal of this literature review is to show the following: · The connection between how students learn and the use of technology, particularly the use of interactive white boards (IWBs). · To report on the teaching and learning approaches that best support the learning of Native American students. · To report on the teaching and learning approaches that best support the learning of children of poverty. · To point out the views of state and federal government agencies regarding the use of technology in the classroom, especially for mathematics.
