Research

Given that the use of computers has been evolving over time, our understanding of how computers can effect children's learning has also developed. Anedcotal evidence from teachers pertaining to the use of interactive whiteboards promoting engagement amongst pupils has been supported by research across schools and mathematics games have proven beneficial to children's understanding. The papers below detail the use of interactive whiteboards and review the literature produced around this time to stipulate the benefis of whiteboards and were interesting reads.

 

There are many avenues for potential futher reading into the benefits and adverse effects of incorporating computers into classrooms which will be explored at later dates.
