Interactive whiteboards are not just another classroom technology. As the first digital technology designed specifically for teaching and learning, they have the potential to radically alter the way we learn and facilitate the integration and ready use of all other digital technologies - hardware and software. Just as the blackboard was the symbol and transformative technology of the 18th century classroom, the interactive whiteboard will be the centrepiece of the 21st century digital classroom. "The Interactive Whiteboard Revolution" provides a wealth of information on: getting your school started with IWBs; selecting the right IWB technology; principles and strategies for effective IWB teaching; lesson design and software tools; professional development, training and support. The book contains eight case studies of leading educators talking about how they use IWBs. Above all the book makes the point that IWBs are great tools to help great teachers do what they do best.
