  In Roundtable Session: SMT - Roundtables Thur3

Short Description

During the last two and half decades, interactive whiteboard technologies have become a mainstay in many P-12 schools. While they may have been cutting-edge and novel when they were introduced, currently they are outdated and the monies previously invested in them should be re-appropriated to put educational technologies in the hands of children, rather than on classroom walls. This presentation attempts to explore these issues and offer alternatives to interactive whiteboard technologies in the classroom.
