A builder is only as good as their tools, and the same could be said for some aspects of teaching.
While it’s true that many teachers fulfil their duties by standing before their class and describing concepts in a lecture style, the introduction of more modern technologies could really do a lot to increase the effect of the class.
No matter what you teach, or to whom, you may find that your lessons could benefit immensely from the addition of an interactive whiteboard to your classroom. These incredible tools open up a whole new world of opportunity when it comes to education and can help teachers make the leap from ‘good’ to ‘great’.
With an interactive whiteboard, you can show students graphs, charts, videos, images and notes at the touch of a button. Capable of displaying on a wall anything that can be shown on a computer desktop, interactive whiteboards truly are the educational tools of the future. And you can use them to do all kinds of things.
For example, a primary school teacher might make the most of the tool’s ability to edit and insert new data on the spot to encourage pupils to write their very own story as a class, complete with pictures, which can be saved and referred to at a later date.
In university, a debating class may utilise learner response units to enable students to vote on the most compelling arguments, collating the results into instant, easy to read graphs while the votes are being placed. With barely any effort at all, you will be able to quiz students on what they have learned during your class, get pupils to come up and input answers to questions on the screen and truly create an interactive learning experience that your classes will find both immersive and entertaining.
Of course, it’s important to remember that an interactive whiteboard is a tool to enhance your teaching while not being a teacher itself – just as the builder’s tools merely help the builder create a sturdy, reliable house – so it’s still up to you to utilise the tool in the best way to yield the best results.
Once you’ve spent some time experimenting with the capabilities that interactive whiteboard tools have on offer, it won’t be long before you’re creating fantastic lesson plans that will help you make that leap to being a truly fantastic teacher.

One thing to be careful about:
you don't want to keep saying that if you don't know an answer then you will do some research.
it's fine to mention it once.
But don't give the impression that you only ever solve a problem by doing research. There are many skills that you have that you can apply without having to remind yourself or having to check online what other people have done.
Also, there is no need for too much personal story. It's great to say that you love your current job but business is down. That's really positive and that you get on well with your current workmates. But you don't have to tell them that you can't afford to go to college right now. They can't give you a job from any sense of pity, it must be on merits of your resume and interview.
You don't have to say 'please consider this application' – they will obviously consider anything that gets sent in.
But I do like describing your personality and it does come through and show you in a good light. But less written would make more of a positive impact.
