Zebulon B. Vance High

"The students love coming to the front of the class to use the whiteboard and complete the interactive activities. This creates a really entertaining, engaging classroom atmosphere and helps students learn, almost unconsciously."

Ken Carter is the Science Department Head at Zebulon B. Vance High School in Charlotte NC. The school installed interactive whiteboards in August last year, but Ken soon realized that they would need to invest colossal amounts of time into creating resources to use the whiteboards effectively. When Ken found Boardworks High School Science resources, he realized his problems were solved.

"Boardworks science resources have been massively time-saving. They've saved us a heck of a lot of time in terms of preparation, and have helped us use our whiteboards efficiently, all the time. The whole science department now makes extensive use of the resources, and the whiteboards with them."

The science teachers of Vance High School are thrilled with the quality of the resources and appreciate the value of the fresh perspective offered. They also appreciate that the material is delivered in PowerPoint, so they can easily control the pace of the class, move from slide to slide as they choose and customize the presentations to suit their students' needs.

And it's not just the teachers who have benefited: "The students love coming to the front of the class to use the whiteboard and complete the interactive activities. This creates a really entertaining, engaging classroom atmosphere and helps students learn, almost unconsciously. Today's students live by computers and have an expectation of being taught through the use of technology – Boardworks science resources are perfect for that. Boardworks has effectively and efficiently condensed curriculum topics into short, sharp, engaging presentations which keep students motivated and focused."
