Student Use of IWBs 4 Replies
I have coped some flack in the past for saying that student use of an IWB should not be the ultimate goal of IWB usage. This is not to say that students should not be using IWBs, just that it is a co…

The intention for creating this site was not for it to be a place that IWB vendors, hardware and software manufacturers, etc, could use to make product announcements and direct sales pitches.

Welcome to the Revolution!
This site has been created as a place for educators to have an ongoing conversation about the effective use of IWBs in the classroom. We aim to focus on the development of good IWB use, rooted in sound educational pedagogy.
