Quadro Interactivo

Key question for the research Our key question is: What are the essential features of interactivity, intrinsic in the use of interactive whiteboards, which make them more effective than current similar presentation media (whiteboard, OHP, computer with data projector) and how can these be promoted and then sustained? and subsidiary to that: how can the interactive whiteboard be used in ways that are more effective than current use of other presentation media? what should one look for in commercial or other available interactive whiteboard materials to maximise any benefits of the use of the interactive whiteboard? what type of materials should teachers look to produce for themselves given the constraints that they are working under? what model of professional development in this context best supports the growth of the effective use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom?
