The responses indicated that all the participants were provided with IWB training, something
that they all saw as important and useful. The training provided was a starting point that they
could proceed from. They claimed that without the training in the beginning their attitudes
would have been less positive in the initial stage towards using the IWB.

Ja en kort kurs. Det var en start på
alltihopa helt enkelt
Gick igenom grunderna.

it all. We learned the basics”.

some of the participants were not satisfied with it. Some answers implied that the participants
would prefer additional subject-specific training. Furthermore, longer courses instead of a few
hours were also requested.

“fortbildning behövs ännu lite mer, som inte
är bara grundläggande utan som jag kan
använda mig mer av i språkundervisningen”.
“more in-service training is
needed…language-specific training
and not only the basics”
However, some answers suggested that a general non-subject-specific training was enough
and it is the individual teacher’s responsibility to proceed from the provided training.
Moreover, the responses indicated that the continual investment in the teachers’ own
development is an important factor in the learning and developing process. The answers
indicate that it is the teacher’s responsibility to maintain his or her skills and develop and
improve them.
