Thanks to the amazing range of media that can be accessed from the Internet , it allows us teachers to be able to provide a much richer learning experience using the whiteboards. Apart from just being more visually\u00a0appealing than the usual paper based\u00a0resources,\u00a0I find that the students\u00a0become more engaged when sharing, discussing, even interacting with texts\u00a0using the Interactive Whiteboard. It really seems to pull them into the tasks. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ana Cristine, an LSI Hampstead student from Brazil, is in total agreement with Noah. &#8220;When we work with texts on the normal whiteboard I never finish writing down it all down before we move to the next topic but with the interactive board you can easily go back to previous exercises. Also the teacher is able to use\u00a0lots of colours to highlight texts which makes it more interesting to look at as well as making each mark more distinct.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LSI now has interactive whiteboards in all its UK schools at <a title=\"Language Studies International at London Central\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/london-central\/school\" target=\"_blank\">London Central<\/a>, London Hampstead, <a title=\"Language Studies International at Brighton\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/brighton\/school\" target=\"_blank\">Brighton<\/a> and <a title=\"Language Studies International at Cambridge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/cambridge\/school\" target=\"_blank\">Cambridge<\/a>.
