This activity links in well with this week’s reading by Higgins et al (2007) as the focus on this lesson is student-directed rather than teacher-directed. As asserted by Higgins et al (2007), the Interactive Whiteboard provides many opportunities for engaging activities when used appropriately. The use of the soundscape links in particularly well with this notion as this activity would not be as effective or possible if you were to use a regular whiteboard in the classroom.
