[Year 12 IPM] OT Electronic White Boards

[Royce Williams]

Watch the costs of electronic white boards 

The touch sensitive ones cost a packet plus take up valuable wall space
as you cant use them as whiteboards.

There is a better portable solution from mimeo .. Ir and ultrasound to
track pen at much lower cost

Also whilst they look good actual real teacher usage is not high.

Why only good ?  It seems that once again the hype re. new "toys"
overcomes our critical faculties. They key question to ask re electronic
whiteboards is whether they are cost effective cf. other expenditures
e.g the 2 other multimedia projectors that could have been used in two
other classrooms at the same time.

The answer is a resounding "NO" in my opinion.
Wait till I have most staff with access to projectors or large display
in most classrooms most of the time.
