Stixy : virtual whiteboard
http://mashable.com/2008/04/10/stixy-calendars/ Stixy is a pretty cool organizational tool that has a sleek drag’n'drop interface, letting you create a virtual whiteboard for anything you’d like to create. In adding some structure to the free-form tool that Stixy has already created, the company has just revealed the private beta of its calendar feature. In the words of Stixy, “if we see the Stixyboards as being the ‘clear plastic folders,’ we see the calendar as the ‘binder,’ gluing everything together.” |

Interactive whiteboards in the Classroom (Report Oct07)
www.futurelab.org.uk/events/listing/whiteboards/report Interactive whiteboards in the Classroom (Report Oct07) from Futurelab UK The key aims of this report are to extract some of the key findings relating to the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in UK classrooms from the research literature. From these findings we then extrapolate some of the key issues and debates in order to put forward some initial recommendations relating to more effective use, and also some ideas and suggestions for potential future developments in terms of teaching, training, use and design of IWBs. The overall intention is to help us move away from simplistic arguments around whether IWBs are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ per se, to ones that are more nuanced and sophisticated, which consider the optimum conditions for effective use; the factors that may support such use; the aspects that may influence future developments; as well as the types of evidence needed that will enable us to implement appropriate changes. |

Interactive whiteboard vs. Tablets
http://tinyurl.com/2fv9ea Interactive whiteboard vs. Tablets In my opinion, tablets & projectors (with wireless networks) are a better investment than interactive whiteboards (with the possible exception of primary grades) because the tablet offers the same capabilities but with added benefits. http://schoolcomputing.wikia.com/wiki |

Primary IWB report (UK)
http://tinyurl.com/2hmjrq The DfES Primary Schools Whiteboard Expansion project The DfES Primary Schools Whiteboard Expansion project (PSWE) provided substantial funding to 21 local authorities in 2003-04 to support the acquisition and use of interactive whiteboards in primary schools. The research was carried out between September 2004 and December 2006 Becta highlights the fact that primary pupils can gain 2.5-7.5 months progress (in a period of somewhat over a year) through use of an interactive whiteboard (IWB) in maths, English and science. Rates of additional progress depend on the subject and level of attainment of pupils, with high achieving girls doing better in KS1 maths, while low attaining boys benefited more in KS2 writing. |

Health advice on the use of interactive whiteboards
http://www.hse.gov.uk/radiation/nonionising/whiteboards.htm Health advice on the use of interactive whiteboards Computer projectors, which are used to show presentations or to illuminate interactive whiteboards, can expose the eye to levels above one of the exposure limits which HSE uses as a guide for compliance with applicable legislation. Therefore, although such exposure limits are not statutory, the HSE considers the following advice to be good practice in respect of the use of these projectors by employers in the education sector. |

IWB Reviews
http://acitt.digitalbrain.com/acitt/web/resources/pubs/Journal%2002/whiteboards2.htm Interactive Whiteboard Reviews There is quite a debate about whiteboards at the moment. On the one hand thrifty ICT co-ordinators consider them an expensive luxury. On the other, those who have used them never want them to be taken away! We catalogued the debate in a previous article, but for the moment, some feedback from association members who have trailled the boards themselves. Not just in a comfy office, or a demonstration hall we might add, but in a class with children on a day to day basis. " The Smartboard wins in our opinion because the software can always be improved. The physical method of interacting with the board can?." |

Enhancing teaching and learning with interactive whiteboards
http://tinyurl.com/583qj Enhancing teaching and learning with interactive whiteboards : ICT in Primary (online magazine) February 2005 Research also suggests that the motivational aspect of interactive whiteboards is one of the key factors for using them. This is certainly true when they are used effectively. Children are more motivated to learn when the environment the teacher creates encourages them to become full participants in the learning process. This article highlights : -Using interactive whiteboards with pupils at the Foundation Stage -Using maps on an interactive whiteboard -Using the interactive whiteboard to observe shadows in a Year 2 science classroom Using an interactive whiteboard in a Year 4 group session on literacy -Using an interactive whiteboard to develop evaluation skills in a Year 6 class -Using interactive whiteboards to gain access to religious education resources |

Hitachi StarBoards
http://www.hitachi-soft.com/news_1.1_051003.htm Hitachi StarBoards The new Hitachi StarBoard whiteboards use a combination of ultrasound and infrared technology to sense the location of pen type devices near the surface. The surface itself is not an active component and therefore is not prone to any form of degradation or to introduce spurious contact actions into the presentation. The display areas provide a very large image on which to work and provide pinpoint accuracy in running applications and adding comments and annotations to presentations. The StarBoards are available with either built-in wireless technology to link to the host computer, or serial interfaces for wired connections. |

UK National Whiteboard Network (Primary)
http://www.nwnet.org.uk/ UK National Whiteboard Network (Primary) Interactive Whiteboards can have a positive effect on teaching and learning but as with any ICT tool, the impact on teaching and learning depends on how successfully they are integrated into classroom practice. Interactive whiteboards can raise standards only if they are supported by effective teaching. It is their use to extend and transform learning that results in the greatest gains. The Network builds on the work undertaken by LEAs and schools involved in the Strategy? three pilots that focused on how to embed the effective use of ICT in learning and teaching. This development is a key part of the DfES plans for an integrated approach to embed ICT in leaning and teaching in all primary schools. |
