Summary/Abstract: This paper considers the impact of using interactive whiteboards to promote phonological awareness among SEN students through whole-class online activities. Data collected suggests the tactile features of IWB, as well as the added game elements increase the students’ learning motivation and the task completion rate. The results indicate this specific type of technology has the potential to facilitate a better understanding of word structure in students with developmental / intellectual disabilities and it appears to motivate and engage them in learning more than traditional literacy activities.
