Summary:Our students have to understand that Physics is not only about memorizing and calculating. If the cognitive load theory is applied when teachers are developing their lesson projects, the questions and the evaluation forms, then they are able to better monitor their students’ understanding. The interactive Smart Board is an excellent way of learning, being an instrument used by teachers for both teaching lessons as well as for grading students. The cognitive load theory can be applied in teaching Physics more easily when we are using the Smart Notebook 10 software because the material in a lesson can be presented in a more interactive way. The present paper's purpose is to present the way in which teachers can promote an interactive learning and stimulate students’ creative potential, by using the interactive whiteboard and the cognitive load theory.
