The best interactive whiteboard advice I’ve heard: “The teacher should be the star of the show, the whiteboard should be the backup dancer.”

We don’t need any board. Let them to be expensive or what. If we reduce the number of students on each class room we can have real stuff!!!

I think interactive whiteboards are great. Chalkboards are outdated.

I think the interactive whiteboard is brilliant, but, if you’re not a good teacher, all the latest technology is not going to make you better

teachplaysing answered:
I used to think that, but then I saw how they could be used - there’s so many more useful interactions with students you can use them for.

teacher-girl answered:
I think the problem is many teachers who DON’T recieve training are intimidated & may be less willing to “teach” themselves how to use it.

In my field observation, I saw one teacher who only used her SMART board as an overhead projector. I cried a little.

I’ve found that there’s nothing I couldn’t do just as well with a digital projector connected to a laptop and a lo-tech whiteboard.

About
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
