The thesis called ``Employing Interactive Whiteboard Effectively in German Lessons at Basic School{\crqq} introduces a modern gadget {--} an interactive whiteboard {--} and the possibilities of it´s usage in German classes at basic school. Technological development has progressed and interactive whiteboards have brought new teaching methods. In the theoretical part producers and types of interactive whiteboards and their accessories are mentioned. Reference to interactive textbooks, portals and materials and thein availibility on-line are described. The service instructions should ease the first encounter with an interactive whiteboard. The aims of this thesis are to find out if it is possilble to use an interactive whiteboard while teaching effectively and what the benefit of it´s usage is.

This thesis takes account of using IWB (interactive white board) in modern foreign language teaching, especially in German. In the theoretical part there will be a brief description of IWB possibilities: what software is the best in a particular situation and what are the limits of its use. The practical part will focus on effectiveness in using IWB and show what is necessary to be able to work with IWB effectively: creation of new exercise, slide and whole ?workbook?.

The interactive whiteboard is a fairly recent technical device, which has become an increasingly important teaching aid. The interactive whiteboard is supposed to have a positive impact on English Language Teaching, due to its interactivity and the unlimited opportunities it creates for language teaching. However, findings still show that the interactive whiteboard is used more as a traditional whiteboard to write and show information on rather than as an interactive teaching and learning device. This study seeks to investigate English language teachers’ integration of the IWB in ELT. A qualitative approach was used to collect data for this study. Four English Language Teachers at a lower secondary school in southern Sweden were interviewed. The result from this study shows similarities to previous research. The decisive factors for the participants’ incorporation of the IWB in ELT, such as attitude, knowledge and time, were comparable to previous studies. The result also implies that the participants saw the interactive whiteboard as a useful tool in English Language Teaching and as a regular part of their teaching. Nevertheless, there was a desire among the teachers to learn more about the interactive whiteboard and its possibilities and also to develop their skills in order to improve their teaching and the pupil's language proficiency. Although the teachers in the study used the interactive whiteboard frequently and interactively, the result shows that the most frequent usage was to display information non-interactively.

This research aimed to explore the current status of junior high school teachers¡¦ adopting interactive whiteboards (hereafter ¡§IWB¡¨) in teaching, and further investigate the teachers¡¦ beliefs and intention to use of IWBs. The research used survey research methodology to examine the Kaohsiung municipal junior high school teachers who had participated IWB teaching courses. There were 238 samples, and the research tool was the questionnaire ¡§Teachers¡¦ Teaching Beliefs and Intention to Use of Interactive Whiteboards.¡¨ In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted to those who had expressed their willingness to have interviews in the questionnaires in order to supplement the lack of the questionnaire function. Data of the questionnaire sheets were statistically analyzed by SPSS 14.0 for Windows, and the analytical methods included descriptive statistics, average difference analysis, analysis of variances, and other related analytical methods. Qualitative interview data were inductively organized and analyzed. The findings of the research are as follows: 1.About 65% of Kaohsiung municipal junior high school teachers have ever used IWBs. The reason for using IWBs was mainly to increase students¡¦ learning motives. The major problem the teachers faced was that they were unable to find IWB-equipped classrooms. The assistance the teachers hoped to receive was to have an IWB teaching database constructed. 2.The Kaohsiung municipal junior high school teachers¡¦ IWB teaching beliefs were positive, as they generally believed that IWBs were an effective teaching tool integrated with multi-media resources. Thus, IWB teaching could not only trigger students¡¦ attention and learning motives but also promote their learning effects. 3.The Kaohsiung municipal junior high school teachers¡¦ intention to use of IWBs was positive. In general, the teachers believed that it would boost the teachers¡¦ intention to use of the IWB teaching if the teaching material was appropriate, equipment sufficient, or recommendations from other teachers. Some teachers expressed their intention to use of the IWB teaching in the future. 4.The total scale on the teachers¡¦ teaching beliefs showed a better outcome on the teachers with administrative work and those who had the IWB teaching experience; for evaluation level, it indicated better for those who had the IWB teaching experience; for expectation level, it signified better for the spontaneously-learning teachers and those who had the IWB teaching experience; for skill level, it represented better for male teachers, aged 31 to 40, with administrative work and those who had participated more frequently in IWB learning courses. There was no significant difference in cognition and feeling levels. 5.The total scale on the teachers¡¦ intention to use showed a better outcome on the teachers with administrative work and those who had the IWB teaching experience; for decision level, it indicated better for the teachers with administrative work, those who had participated more frequently in IWB learning courses, those who were spontaneous learners, and those who had the IWB teaching experience; for intention level, there was no significant difference. 6.The total scales of the teaching beliefs and of the intention to use showed a remarkable moderate positive correlation.

Med bakgrund i läraryrkets professionaliseringsprocess, som bland annat efterlyser lärares reflekterande och utvärderande förhållningssätt i sin yrkesutövning, avser denna studie att sammanställa och redovisa lärares erfarenheter av och förhållningssätt till IST-användning främst inom ämnet matematik. Genom att studera andra lärares upplevelser av och förhållningssätt till sitt IST-användande kan man öka sitt egna medvetande. Denna litteraturstudie syftar därför till att öka medvetenheten om de interaktiva skrivtavlornas effekter för matematikundervisningen och lärarens arbete. Studiens resultat visar att de interaktiva skrivtavlorna kan bidra med flera positiva förändringar, men för att det ska bli konkreta effekter för lärarna och undervisningen måste en rad andra förändringar först ske. Den mest framträdande faktorn som framkommit i litteraturen är att lärarna upplever att de behöver få möjligheter till en utökad fortbildning och tid till att utveckla sina tekniska och pedagogiska kompetenser. Litteraturen pekar på att en fullgod fortbildning är avgörande för hur väl den interaktiva skrivtavlan kan integreras i undervisningen och för att lärare ska utveckla en säkerhet i att hantera verktyget.

The presented diploma thesis deals with designing electronic educational materials intended for learning/teaching physics at elementary schools. The work consists of the following parts. In the first part, we focuse on the description of the used HTML5 technology and its possibilities.Subsequently we analyze the applicability of the chosen technologies. The main part of the work comprises a description of designing and implementation of five selected teaching methods and their testing on interactive whiteboards and contemporary mobile devices.

Annotation In my dissertation I deal with whole numbers and how to teach them using a computer and the interactive whiteboard. The dissertation is divided into three parts: a theoretical one, a questionnaire quest an a practical part. In the first part, which is devoted to theory, I examine teaching principles and the way of testing students´ knowledge, skills and learnig habits. In addition, I also examine possibilities for using a computer in the lessons focused on work with the interactive whiteboard. Part 2 provides my own questionnaire guest which I carried out in selected elementary schools. Its objective was to find out about the presence and use of interactive whiteboards as well as teachers´experience when using this teaching aid. Part 3 {--} a practical one {--} comprises worksheets prepared by me for the interactive board and shows their usage in teaching lessons in the seventh form of elementary school. Futher I present the findings which I gained when teaching my own lessons.
