I'm a bit worried about sweeping statements about the use of IWBs. =
Evidence suggests that the success of the technology is based upon =
quality of kit/installation, local technical support, software use and =
most important the assessment of teachers' (technical and pedagogical) =
competencies and subsequent bespoke, targeted and continuous =
professional to support this. I suggest looking at the landmark IWB =
research reports by Bridget Somekh (secondary) and Gemma Moss (primary).

=20

I find the negative generalisations a little worrying- as worrying as =
opposite evangelical generalisations. Nationally and internationally it =
seems to be that success or otherwise is predicated on local variables =
as outlined above.

=20

Although Paul has acknowledged that his is a personal rather than an =
organisational opinion it is interesting to read his comment that IWBs =
"are the biggest and most costly mistake UK education has made"  when =
signed as Programme Leader - Leading Edge Partnership Programme =
(Partnerships and Performance Networks)

Specialist Schools & Academies Trust.=20

=20

This could be easily be (mis?)interpreted as a policy rather than a =
personal statement. I wonder what the official SSAT stance is (if any)?

=20

Apologies - I should have said my experiences are solely =
secondary-based. I know primary colleagues who have had much more =
positive whiteboard experiences.

=20

During the last 6 years I have had the pleasure of visiting over 300 =
secondary schools (including Becta winners/ICT mark schools through to =
struggling special measures schools) and I think I can still only count =
the interesting 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).

=20

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) staff had not found them to be useful enough =
tools to use regularly. The school was well resourced and CPD was well =
planned and had a high priority so that was not the issue.

=20

Why do these schools find it so hard to generate the good practice you =
have seen? (The poor usage level is obvious due to the huge number of =
uncalibrated boards I see)

=20

A lot of the positives often quoted are features of the software as =
opposed to the hardware. There is no debate as to the increased quality =
of the software available - I just feel there are better (dare I say =
more 'interactive') ways of operating it - voting handsets, cordless =
mice, presenter handsets, graphics tablets, tablet PCs (a possible =
solution but not a wide spread one) etc. The usage of voting handsets =
has been the most impressive use of hardware I have seen.

=20

How long do we leave it before we accept the wide-scale whiteboard =
experiment has not worked? Another 10 years? Have we lost some teachers =
from ever using ICT as a result of their whiteboard experiences?

=20

Interesting debate.

Cheers

=20

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 - I have - 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 'teacher in charge' 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 - 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, =
'developing tray' (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 'matured' 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 =
- 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's 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 - 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't look back.

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

the first is in handwriting recognition combined with brainstorming =
