Book Description
Interactive whiteboards are not just another classroom technology. As the first digital technology designed specifically for teaching and learning, they have the potential to radically alter the way we learn and facilitate the integration and ready use of all other digital technologies – hardware and software. Just as the blackboard was the symbol and transformative technology of the 18th century classroom, the interactive whiteboard will be the centrepiece of the 21st century digital classroom.
