The document discusses common observations about the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in various school settings and provides recommendations for successful IWB integration. Special schools effectively used IWBs across curriculums and saw reduced behavior problems. Primary schools struggled with technical support, positioning of boards, and lack of teacher training. Secondary schools had varying access to boards and support. Research shows IWBs increase engagement when used for more than visual learning as part of an embedded technology culture with leadership support. The key to success is a long-term elearning plan, professional learning, technical support, and focusing on pedagogy rather than just the tool.
