Are you new to using an interactive whiteboard (IWB)? Have you used one for ages but want some other ideas? Are you using an IWB regularly but know you could use it better? Then you are invited to join The 2010 Interactive Whiteboard Challenge! The aim of the IWB Challenge: To improve the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms everywhere by having students and teachers set challenges for each other by creating videos and screencasts of ways they use their IWB. The aim is also to connect educators and students to others who are working at improving their IWB practice.

Some interesting perspectives on use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom. 

Very cool collaborative sketching app with Google Maps interface. 

Nice little app for manipulating fraction pieces. Can easily be used with an electronic whiteboard. Allows students and teachers to manipulate, +/-, x/divide fractions and show relationships.

Creates a graphic of words based on several criteria, can be used to create a graphic of vocabulary from a chapter or a graphic of tags from a class delicious account. Not an end all site, but great way for students/teachers to present a list of topics in a unique way during a presentation. I can see using this to help create a word wall activity using the interactive whiteboard.

Looking for a great interactive venn diagram activity then look no further. Students can work on their multiples/multiplication/lcm skills in an interactive way. If you have a smartboard then just imagine the fun students can have.

Nice discussion of tools for doing image searches on the web. Some creative commons options that are useful for using with students.
