Interactive Whiteboards

I can't really comment to much on the video project. I will say that I noticed how engaging and fun everyone was having. This is a group project, and everyone should participate and do their part. The time and effort it took to make it good is well worth it.
I read the articles and listened to the demo about the interactive whiteboard. They can be a very useful tool in the classroom.  Students who are not paying attention and the misbehaved seemed to become very interested. In fact, grades went up and school suspensions went down as a result of using this technology. The boards are very important to teaching as one explained.  It can be as important as the curriculum itself.  The demo showed how to change handwriting to actual text. I especially was impressed with how using colors and the eraser is known from removing the item. The studies that were done were important to find what progress is made by using this tool.  Information and knowledge seemed to help everyone understand more and to get on the same page.  I would definately be willing to use this in my classroom because it engages the students and they seem more interested in learning.
