Flipchart

I really enjoyed using the flipchart for the interactive white board once I got the hang of it. I am not sure if it is something I would use for every lesson, but if I could get more in the groove of it and make them faster, it's definitely something that's a lot more engaging than a powerpoint, and a great way to incorporate multimedia into a whiteboard.

Interactive White Boards

The reading about interactive white boards was kind of funny to me, but made sense. Most teachers aren't utilizing the IWBs because they haven't been trained in how to use them. I'm having flashbacks to the ordeals my grade school teachers went through to make a VHS work.
I doubt it will ever make like, a massive difference in student achievement, but I think it can make class more engaging and make incorporating different multimedia elements more seamless for the teacher.
This is the first area of the class where I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and no frame of reference, so I'm a little nervous, but it's also one of the parts of class I'm most eager to learn! Hoping it goes well.
