Interactive Whiteboards

Today, I posted on the Wiki about interactive whiteboards. I had never heard of them before but they sound really cool. You can project the computer onto the whiteboard and then the students can work on the computer interactively via the whiteboard. This sounds like an extremely beneficial tool. Kids get bored listening to lectures and powerpoints over and over again. With the interactive whiteboard kids can become involved in the lecture and enjoy the subject. This tool is probably very expensive and would be difficult to obtain but if I can use it in my classroom in the future I definitely will. This tool is so cool and hopefully more teachers will hear about it and be able to infuse it into their lessons.
