The use of interactive white boards (IWB)
in schools has become widespread in recent years. One aim of using IWB is to
increase efficiency in education through the use of technology. As for all
schools, there is a need for special education schools to use these IWBs. According
to the literature, the use of technology in the education of students with
disabilities makes a very significant difference for them. This study focuses
on the impact of courses assisted by multi-media materials presented through IWB
on the education of intellectually disabled students in terms of (1) students’
participation and (2) teachers’ teaching practices in the classroom. Participants
of this study consisted of four students and two teachers. From the results, it
can be seen that the use of IWBs in the education of students with intellectual
disabilities has both advantages and disadvantages. Interaction with IWB, large
objects, multimedia support were positive effects on students. However, teachers
had some trouble with class management at the beginning, but they were able to
overcome these problems over time.
