After viewing the YouTube videos on IWB's it made me wonder why all schools do not have access to these tools. Yes there is a funding problem but as time goes on I hope they become mainstream. I would also have to agree with teacher training too as it is "no good having a car without a knowing how to drive it".Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09323398494377706114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496682113745675686.post-69199910237742426752009-08-19T22:04:09.488+10:002009-08-19T22:04:09.488+10:00I was fortunate enough last year to be in a class ...I was fortunate enough last year to be in a class with an interactive white board, the times I used it, it really enhanced my lessons. The students were engaged and physically involved in their learning. This year however, I can only wish I had one. I think the students who do not have access to this tool are at a disadvantage. I hope one day it is mandatory in all schools to have one just as you expect to see a blackboard or white board. Remember way back yonder when schools did not have computers, one day I hope we are saying how did we ever manage with out a smart board. Teachers, however need to receive training to be competent users of this technology to use it to it's full potential.Natasha McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760539030998221345noreply@blogger.com
