Interactive Whiteboard

The interactive whiteboard is a great tool for the classroom. I think that the students can really get into the personal interaction. There are a lot of ways that the teacher can interact with the students and really get them involved rather than just lecture. It has the potential, as with any technology, to become boring if used everyday in the classroom or for the entire class period. It will be great to use for little activities during the day to keep the students focused and motivated. The advantages of the interactive white board as opposed to a plain whiteboard, or even just using powerpoint, are that you can save your class notes and set the students up for interaction. Students learn more by doing and the interactive whiteboard makes that a lot easier.
