This blog post does provide some good points in opposition to IWBs. Good conversation piece.

I provide technology training with five different school districts, all using several different types of IWBs. In districts where teachers see IWBs a way to make it easier for them to continue what they've already been doing, that is "stand and deliver", then I agree completely with the author.

These tools can provide students with outstanding discovery and creative outlets and real learning happens. It's all about the teacher, not the board.
