Interactive Whiteboards in math

This article talks about the different roles that the teacher and student need to play when using the interactive whiteboard. Obviously, teachers will need to know how to use and manipulate the whiteboard before allowing students to use it. I really like how the teachers had students working in groups with the whiteboard. This grouping will give each student the opportunity to work with the whiteboard. I think that all classrooms should be eqipped with a whiteboard, especially math classrooms. Some students need to see the problem as well as be able to manipulate something to get the answer, such as taking away apples when completing a subtraction problem. I think that the interactive whiteboards is not only beneifical for the teacher but the students as well.
