The biggest danger is smartboards look like whiteboards. I cringe when the educator is still monopolizing the board stating that tech has been integrated. I am having the notebook software loaded onto all gear at school because I think it is a place for the learner to reflect upon learning and to create some items for a portfolio. These new tools offer us new representation systems by which we consolidate, connect, activate and demonstrate our learning journeys. They suggest a highly personalized way to demonstrate that learning has taken place. Initially, we derive the way we use a tool by imitating an earlier tool. Hence, early TV looked like "filmed radio". Only after we disconnect from or unlearn the old way do we apply the tool in a new manner. Great post, thank you!

I agree that they can generate excitement and renewed enthusiasm in teachers and students, but the real learning still comes with good pedagogy not the IWB. I am interested in how the term 'interactive' has become a word that means touching the board or manipulating the objects on the board. I, like you, believe it needs to be more about interacting in the learning process and with others. I think there needs to be a lot of thinking about the use of IWBs.
