Paul, I must disagree. =20

=20

With all respect, I fear that you are only seeing what you want to see!  =
An
interactive table costs about the same as a good IWB and can only be =
seen by
half the class at the most.  I wonder if you have ever had the almost
spiritual experience of actually using an IWB with repeated classes of
children =96 I have =96 There is an overwhelming satisfaction in seeing =
the
class take over the board (not all at the same time!).  Your reference =
to
the tablet PC (which I agree is useful) and PowerPoint still hints at =
the
=91teacher in charge=92 scenario.

When I first introduced IWBs in a school some 10 years ago I soon =
discovered
that there were a vast number of different ways of using the IWB.  =
Perhaps
the first is in handwriting recognition combined with brainstorming =96
whereby any number of children can almost scribble their contributions =
on
the board, all spontaneously translated into a neat and appropriate font =
and
then easily re-arranged and exported for embedding into their own work =
as
and when they have access to a PC.

=20

Then, of course, there are so many  features such as sequence sorting,
=91developing tray=92 (even at A-level), use of libraries of symbols eg =
Science
or Maths or word+image matching etc.

=20

I fear Paul, that your experiences of IWBs have been soured by poor
practice, whereas I have been inspired by good practice from all age =
groups.
As part of my initial and cautious research I started by observing good
Primary practice and soon realised that many of the initial IWB =
techniques
could be =91matured=92 to the standards that would not insult any =
student in 5D.

=20

Perhaps my final comment must be that having set up a situation where =
every
classroom now has an IWB any teacher can walk into any classroom and
instantly have their lesson outlines up on the board before the class =
enters
and then the fun begins!

=20

I originally wrote this 7-page document some 5 years ago, but I still =
stand
by what I said then:

Interesting but still nothing new. 10 years on in the UK classroom and =
still
hardly any effective ELECTRONIC whiteboard practice to talk about =96 =
they are
the biggest and most costly mistake UK education has made and we need to =
get
away from the mentality that just because a lot of money has been spent =
on
them that we need to continue down that path (rough pr=E9cis of =
Chris=92s
reasoning in the video)

=20

The best thing I have seen so far with a whiteboard is take it off the =
wall,
put it on a table, twist the projector so it points downwards and let =
people
share it (if it allows multi-point access of course)

=20

20th century technology. 19th century teacher-centric pedagogy =96 one =
user
and a class of mere watchers.

=20

Get a =A350 cordless bluetooth keyboard and mouse, step away from the =
front of
the classroom and share the power! You won=92t look back.

(feel free to send me the money you have saved if you want!)

I was involved in some of the early discussions of the book referred to,
written by Mal Lee and Chris Betcher.  The 6 min video clip by Chris =
Betcher
is well worth watching particular by those not convinced of the benefits =
of
IWBs.
