All the classes that I have been to in the Education Building have these boards, however I never see them being used except for the odd few lecturers that display PowerPoint slides onto them...(one doesn't need such expensive equipment to merely display PowerPoint slides).
Nonetheless we are living in the age of technology and I feel it is important not to be stuck in the previous centuary. I like technology when: 1. It works and 2. I know how to use it. I know that my opnion will change on this IWB once I have had some training on it therefore I look forward to learning what this board is really capable of. Right now I am too scared to even touch it.
I think if one is fortunate enough to go to a school that has these IWB's it would really be to ones advantage to use.
In my subjects: Natural and Life Sciences it can be used by showing videos (as usual) but also to get learners to participate by writing on the board during lessons. There are probably more ways to incorporate it which I will become aware of once I know what this board is and how it works :)
