The goal of this chapter is to design interactive teaching strategies with Interactive WhiteBoard (IWB) and investigate their effectiveness on Biology teaching. In recent years, with the rapid development of Information Communication Technology (ICT), integrating multimedia presentation tools to perform better teaching has become easier in today’s classroom. Among many ICT systems, the innovation and introduction of IWB has not only changed the traditional classroom but symbolizes a key revolution in the history of whiteboard development. Researchers have identified a number of advantages of using IWB in teaching and learning: flexibility and versatility, multimedia/multimodal presentation, improving teaching efficiency, supporting planning and the development of resources, improving students’ skills of using ICT technology, interactivity and participation during course, improving students’ learning motivation, and improving students’ understanding (BECTA, 2007; Glover, Miller, Averis, & Door, 2005; Holmes, 2009; Northcote, Mildenhall, Marshall, & Swan,2010;Slay, Sieborger, & Hadgkinson-Williams, 2008; Smith, Higgins, Wall, & Miller, 2005; Wall, Higgins, Smith, 2005). The IWB realizes interactive operations between the whiteboard and the computer. It has become a new interface to consolidate all teaching resources in a traditional classroom. Many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Russia, have invested heavily in the IWB and attempted to implement it in schools of all levels. In Taiwan, the government also invests a large amount of money to introduce IWB into classrooms. Since 2006, the Taiwan’s Ministry of Education officially announced that more than $50 million NTD (roughly $15 million USD) would be invested in promoting the preliminary integration of IWB into instruction. Following the trend of integrating IWB into teaching, this research tries to understand how to make good use of the advantages of IWB to make students have better learning effectiveness on junior high school Biology.
