Interactive Whiteboards

In order for me to get the First Aid training across for kids I feel
an interactive whiteboard will benefit this. For classroom activities this will help all kids participate and learn together. Heres a short video of how interactive whiteboards benefit Teachers and kids:


How to design for interactive whiteboards:

After extensive research on interactive white boards, I downloaded a free software called Mimio Studio notebook, this is one of the software's you can use to create an interactive whiteboard activity, I wanted to see how it works, which was very interesting. heres the link:

Although I don't have any of the MimioStudio products to use it, I  was still able to get the jist of how it works, which is pretty simple enough. For the end result I will want my idea been used through this software. For now I'm going to design mine on Indesign so I can show how the interactive parts work, and how you can move around and arrange objects. This idea for first aid and using the interactive whiteboard will help in engage all the kids in this learning process.
