Interactive White Boards

I've actually never heard of interactive white boards before, and after learning about them, I think they are pretty cool.  Interactive white boards should be used as a tool in classrooms everywhere, It keeps the students entertained and what to participate, because well you can touch it! There are pros and cons to having really cool things such as the white board in the classroom. The pros are it can bring multi media into the classroom, you can be interactive without sitting behind a desk, and physically act with the display. You can go outside the box with this, you can draw, write and have students interact while you are doing so. The cons in having a Interactive white board from what I have read and heard, is that its hard to write on, if the board is sensitive you could have glitches and it could just be frustrating to work with. The hardest thing about cool new gadgets in the classroom is learning out to use them. Even though you still have the white board working you have to still go back and forth to your desk top to change the item on the screen. Last but not least the price, White boards can be really expensive especially if a school doesn't have the money to spend on up to date technology.
