I love my interactive whiteboard but I don't believe in
whistles and bells. You don't have to make words spin and pictures dance to use the board effectively. I just
use my IWB like I did my old board but I take advantage of the benefits; clear
pictures and words, save-ability revisit-ability multiple screens, everything
in one place etc. I love not having to rub out something because there is no room. I love being able to easily do something again.
I know they have their
limitations, for example they make the class more frontal and possible less
interactive. I know only one or two students can use it at one time.
In a perfect world I’d
love both an IWB and a whiteboard in my class but this is reality and I’m glad
I have my IWB.
