This is a a very cool and can be used for sharing information for projects and collaborative working among students. This can also be used between instructors as well for collaboration among projects, curriculum, and anything else that need be. 

This is a great website for some interactive whiteboard activities related to literacy.

A great free resource for classrooms that use interactive whiteboards.

This looks like a great collection of resources for teachers with an interactive whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards, in my opinion, are an underutilized technology. I know that I definitely do not do enough with the one in my own classroom. As a teacher, it is difficult to create activities for the whiteboard completely from scratch. This seems to be a good place to start. I especially appreciate the breadth of subjects that the activities encompass. Thank you for sharing!

A quick little website about the some of the pros and cons of using interactive whiteboards in class and how they worked when researched. 

I think that this may be the content of an article, not a website. Also I question how the results they found have changed, considering that this article was published in 2009. Therefore, I am not sure how relevant the content of this article is, because the technology has undoubtedly changed a lot since it was written. This resource is definitely for teacher use; I think the writers are trying to help teachers see how they can utilize interactive whiteboards more effectively in their classrooms. This article left me questioning what the authors were talking about a little bit: under the "What the Research Found" portion of the article, the authors describe three features "inherent in interactive whiteboards" that have increased student achievement. However, the handheld voting devices and projection of graphics and visuals can be done without an interactive whiteboard. It left me unsure about how useful interactive whiteboards are; I think that if I had my choice of technology in the classroom, an interactive whiteboard would not be high on my list.
