Uses of Interactive Whiteboard in Education
Teaching math: TeacherLED- Interactive Whitboard Resources for Teachers
Spencer has created a large number of interactive resources for teachers to use when presenting math concepts to the whole class or larger groups. Many of the activities are 3D. Topics covered include Algebra, Data Handling, Number, Shape/Space & Measurement, General Math, and Investigations. There are a few other resources for spelling, the alphabet, and maps.
A new kind of SmartBoard: Multi-User, Multi-Touch SMART Table for Education
keep notes/examples from class to class
print out notes/examples for absent students
acts as a basic presentation software
Provide students with "virtual field trips", using links to panoramas of various places around the globe
Provide students with 3D interactivity, via EduSim and similar applications
Through interactive whiteboards, an ordinary lesson can be made highly interactive by integrating audio, video, annotation, graphics and animation to it. Anything drawn or written on the whiteboard screen can be saved for later re-evaluation. It can also be used as projection surface to display text and image from various sources like websites, visualizers, VCDs, TV etc. To make the best use of IWB, invest time in whiteboard usage and explore and share all its features.
The IWB is a fantastic tool for interacting with literacy learning
HP TouchSmart- a 22-inch interactive board that requires no projector, and will soon have "multi-touch" capabilities. Looks good for two students working together, or for a teacher/tutor/speech and language therapist working side-by-side with a student.

Possible Uses of Interactive Whiteboards and Displays for Education in the Future
If you haven't heard of Johnny Lee, take a look at my recent blog post about his work hacking the Wii. The post includes one of Johnny's latest videoclips.Johnny is a graduate student in the Human Computer Interaction program at Carnegie-Mellon, and I think his work might hold some promise for education. Most people play Wii applications on large screen displays, and from what I can tell, more and more teachers are finding large-screen displays, in the form of interactive whiteboards, in their classrooms.Interactive Multimedia Technology (Lynn Marentette)
What Interactive Whiteboard Does for Students
students are more apt to use this than regular chalkboard
touch board helps those tactile learners engage
Interactive whiteboards increase student attention, engagement, participation, and test scores!
