Education uses of Digital Storytelling from the University of Houston

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. However, when teachers see IWBs as a way to involve students in and excite them about their own learning, then wonderful things happen. These tools can provide students with outstanding discovery and creative outlets and real learning happens. It's all about the teacher, not the board.
