and it won't happen if you give teachers a tool that enables them to say;

If they are implemented properly, with a change in teaching practice, they
can be fabulous.
My prin saw whole schools of them in the UK recently. They were the single
greatest factor in the uptake of ICT in classrooms.
Still mainly chalk and talk, but teachers were slowly changing their
practice with greater exposure to what the technology had to offer. It just
takes time to play with them and slowly develop materials for them. If a
teachers entire resource collection is based around traditional teaching
methods, it will take time to develop or adapt to new methods. It won't
happen overnight, but it won't happen at all if you don't facilitate it.

DON"T DO IT
 
They are gadgets used to foster a chalk and talk orientated classroom (the
Maths teachers love them) and to impress Principals.

Dear colleagues 
There are calls from some quarters at my school to put electronic
whiteboards in as many class rooms as possible. 
After the Business Manager recovered from his heart attack, he has asked me
to investigate some cheaper alternatives. 
I have read about ways to convert standard whiteboards into electronic ones
by using a special type of projector or a special gadget you can attach to a
standard whiteboard. I have the brochures but ...
As anyone else used or tested such a device at their school? 
If so, what are comparative results regarding performance, visibility, ease
of use etc? 
Thanks for your assistance.
