Interactive whiteboards affect learning in several ways, including raising the level of student engagement in a classroom, motivating students and promoting enthusiasm for learning. Interactive whiteboards support many different learning styles and are used in a variety of learning environments which includes not only catering to students with special needs but also for routine classroom environment. Many researches worldwide shows that the whiteboards helps educators streamline their preparation, be more efficient in their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration and also increase their productivity overall other than making learning joyful for the learners. This paper investigates the effectiveness of interactive white board technology on the academic achievement of teacher trainees. The sample of the study consisted of 100 students from a co- educational institute of teacher training in Delhi. The study employed quasi- experimental pre- test, post- test control group design with two groups namely; control group and experimental group. Students were randomly divided into two groups of 50 students each. One group was randomly assigned as experimental group and the other group as control group. Students in the experimental group received instructions through the interactive boards installed in the classrooms, while the control group students received instructions through traditional teaching. t- test was employed to test the significance of mean difference in post- test scores of both the groups. The results revealed that there exists significant difference in the mean scores of experimental group and control group. Students in the experimental group scored significantly higher than the students in control group. It was also observed that even though the students were either graduates or post graduates, still they were highly motivated and excited about this unconventional way of learning. They felt much more at ease and were found to be more participatory in the classroom activity which made learning joyful for them.
