Apologies - I should have said my experiences are solely secondary-based. =
I know primary colleagues who have had much more positive whiteboard exper=
iences.
During the last 6 years I have had the pleasure of visiting over 300 secon=
dary schools (including Becta winners/ICT mark schools through to struggli=
ng special measures schools) and I think I can still only count the intere=
sting whiteboard practice I have seen on one hand. (That has been in maths=
mainly and a bit of D&T/science in case anyone is interested).
As an example I walked round a school in the summer term with a whiteboard=
in each of their 80 classrooms. During the tour only four were turned on.=
Three were being used to click through PowerPoints and one was being used=
with some maths software (by the teacher). I find this a tragic waste of =
money. It was a decent school making good progress and yet the (good) staf=
f had not found them to be useful enough tools to use regularly. The schoo=
l was well resourced and CPD was well planned and had a high=20priority so=
that was not the issue.
Why do these schools find it so hard to generate the good practice you hav=
e seen? (The poor usage level is obvious due to the huge number of uncalib=
rated boards I see)
A lot of the positives often quoted are features of the software as oppose=
d to the hardware. There is no debate as to the increased quality of the s=
oftware available - I just feel there are better (dare I say more 'interac=
tive') ways of operating it - voting handsets, cordless mice, presenter ha=
ndsets, graphics tablets, tablet PCs (a possible solution but not a wide s=
pread one) etc. The usage of voting handsets has been the most impressive =
use of hardware I have seen.
How long do we leave it before we accept the wide-scale whiteboard experim=
ent has not worked? Another 10 years? Have we lost some teachers from ever=
using ICT as a result of their whiteboard experiences?
Interesting debate.
Cheers
Paul

Paul, I must disagree.
With all respect, I fear that you are only seeing what you want to see! A=
n interactive table costs about the same as a good IWB and can only be see=
n 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 ch=
ildren - I have - There is an overwhelming satisfaction in seeing the clas=
s 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 'tea=
cher in charge' scenario.
When I first introduced IWBs in a school some 10 years ago I soon discover=
ed that there were a vast number of different ways of using the IWB. Perh=
aps the first is in handwriting recognition combined with brainstorming - =
whereby any number of children can almost scribble their contributions on =
the board, all spontaneously translated into a neat and appropriate font a=
nd then easily re-arranged and exported for embedding into their own work =
as and when they have access to a PC.
Then, of course, there are so many features such as sequence sorting, 'de=
veloping tray' (even at A-level), use of libraries of symbols eg Science o=
r Maths or word+image matching etc.
I fear Paul, that your experiences of IWBs have been soured by poor practi=
ce, 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 Prim=
ary practice and soon realised that many of the initial IWB techniques cou=
ld be 'matured' to the standards that would not insult any student in 5D.
Perhaps my final comment must be that having set up a situation where ever=
y classroom now has an IWB any teacher can walk into any classroom and ins=
tantly have their lesson outlines up on the board before the class enters =
and then the fun begins!
I originally wrote this 7-page document some 5 years ago, but I still stan=
d by what I said then:

Interesting but still nothing new. 10 years on in the UK classroom and sti=
ll hardly any effective ELECTRONIC whiteboard practice to talk about - the=
y are the biggest and most costly mistake UK education has made and we nee=
d to get away from the mentality that just because a lot of money has been=
spent on them that we need to continue=20down that path (rough pr=E9cis o=
f Chris's reasoning in the video)
The best thing I have seen so far with a whiteboard is take it off the wal=
l, put it on a table, twist the projector so it points downwards and let p=
eople share it (if it allows multi-point access of course)
20th century technology. 19th century teacher-centric pedagogy - one user =
and a class of mere watchers.
Get a =A350 cordless bluetooth keyboard and mouse, step away from the fron=
t of the classroom and share the power! You won't look back.
(feel free to send me the money you have saved if you want!)
