I guess that, apart from teaching full-time, I=E2=80=99ve also had the =

make their job easier, more enjoyable, more productive, more =

=E2=80=98When you can prove to me how you would use it!=E2=80=99 Bottom =
line was that it was a curriculum decision as to whether to install or =
not.
=20
BTW, I=E2=80=99m not saying that the Australians have the edge on us =

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 =E2=80=93 I have =E2=80=93 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 =E2=80=98teacher in charge=E2=80=99 =
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 =E2=80=93 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, =
=E2=80=98developing tray=E2=80=99 (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 =E2=80=98matured=E2=80=99 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 =
=E2=80=93 they are the biggest and most costly mistake UK education has =

(rough pr=C3=A9cis of Chris=E2=80=99s reasoning in the video)
