3. Benefits of using IWBs  Children are motivated  Children who are not motivated to read books are encouraged by electronic books which they can interact with  Children can talk about, add to and change material on the IWB – this holds children’s attention, challenges their thinking and keeps them fully participating in the lesson.

4. The down side  Non-teaching heads feel further de-skilled  Most head teachers considered that there were one or more teachers in their school who lacked confidence in using IWBs and were thus resistant to using them  The answer was to start with just one thing and allow the teacher to become familiar with that.  In spite of training, difficulty keeping up with the pace of new developments  Maintenance of knowledge of resources in the subject
