Place a carpeted step in front of the whiteboard so smaller children can comfortably reach high up on the board. The top step should be wide enough to stand on. Use an IWB pen to drag items on the screen without selecting them first (as with the mouse). Install Google Earth and use the pointer to zoom in on a particular place on the globe relevant to the lesson you are teaching. Reduce your in-lesson preparation time by preparing and saving activity files before class. Velcro the remote control, eraser and pens to the whiteboard. Have your students use a soft mallet on the whiteboard instead of their fingers. Recalibrate your whiteboard before each lesson.
