Abstract

Interactive whiteboard (IWB) has been widely used as a learning tool in the western classrooms since 1991. Many researches reported that the technology benefits students by increasing their engagement in classroom activities, arousing learners' motivation and helping with their knowledge retention[1]. Hong Kong, as a Chinese society has its unique learning culture and environment [2], what benefits western students may not apply there. It is therefore worthwhile to explore the usefulness of IWB in Hong Kong schools. This paper reports on the research of what benefits can bring to Hong Kong students through the teaching with IWB. Result of this study shows that in general teachers and students in Hong Kong welcome the use of IWB in their classrooms.
