The REVIEW Project: Research and Evaluation of Interactive Electronic Whiteboards
This is a 2-year research project, now in its second year, looking at effective practice in the use of interactive whiteboards. Funded by 'nesta' (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) and in conjunction with Promethean, the Project is now in the process of producing a CD ROM - The Good Guide to Whiteboards - which will be made available to all schools from January 2004.

Comparison / Reviews of Interactive White Boards IWB
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

Classroom Performance System - CPS
http://www.einstruction.com/
Use the Classroom Performance System in your classroom to inspire and engage your students.
The Classroom Performance System (CPS) is an easy-to-use IR response system that obtains immediate feedback from every student.
CPS Chalkboard
eInstruction has partnered with GTCO Calcomp to uniquely bring this exciting new dimension to teachers currently using CPS or considering the purchase of CPS for their classroom.
Though the CPS Chalkboard interface is nicely available in a wireless mode with the CPS Chalkboard tablet, the interface supports any tablet or whiteboard. Thus, one could author questions into CPS for later delivery by standing at a whiteboard and writing the questions into the CPS Chalkboard through the whiteboard or use a wired tablet.
CPSOnline
CPSOnline is a district-wide, standards-based reporting system giving you instant access to data collected with CPS from across the district. Use CPS to administer a benchmark test, quiz, or other type of assessment. After the session is over, teachers can easily upload the session data to the district's CPSOnline website.

• Standards in core subjects at KS3 and GCSE.

Interactive Whiteboard Research Forum
http://www.whiteboard-research.info/
Interactive whiteboards are appearing in classrooms all over the UK, indeed all over the world. Teachers who are using them say that they can feel real benefits. As yet, however, there is little research to justify their expense or their usefulness in the classroom. This forum exists for discussion and debate surrounding interactive whiteboards and for publication of / links to research findings as they emerge.

Interactive whiteboards: case studies

Interactive whiteboards: case studies
As more schools are fitted with interactive whiteboards there is a real need for teachers to play an active role in specifying the ways in which this extremely powerful tool is installed and used.
This growing resource aims to help those at the forefront of a new technology by providing as much information and as many case studies as possible. Some of the information comes from industry; some from colleagues overseas.

REVIEW Project.
http://www.interactiveteaching.org/
In August 2002, the University of Hull, together with Promethean, won funding (?23,650) from 'nesta' to carry out a research project, looking at the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom.
The project is looking for schools and colleges to become partners in this project. If you feel that whiteboards (of any type/make) are being used effectively in your school, we would like to hear from you. In return, we can offer to make you a part of the project with regular news bulletins, access to materials and resources and regular contact with other leading practitioners in classroom technology.

The Interactive Whiteboard: The implications for training teachers
Without sufficient training, there are questions as to whether this technology is being used to full capacity and whether it does enhance teaching and learning. Indeed, what does constitute good practice in the use of whiteboards?
This paper is based on a year of full-time research at the University of Hull. Thanks to an award from ?esta?(National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the University of Hull has been able to set up the REVIEW Project (Research and Evaluation of Interactive, Electronic Whiteboards).

Why Use an Interactive Whiteboard?
http://teachers.net/gazette/JAN02/mabell.html
Why Use an Interactive Whiteboard?
Presentation tools are increasing in popularity for educators who want to share ideas and information with large or small groups of students. Interactive applications are in demand for educators who want to involve their students in learning with technology.
The electronic interactive whiteboard is a device that combines both of these attributes, offering shared learning experiences for large or small groups, as well as for distance learning.

Teachers and Technology: the interactive white board.
One piece of equipment that is being utilized by more and more teachers in the classroom is the electronic interactive whiteboard. The device serves as both a visual presentation tool and as an interactive teaching resource. The whiteboard is an electronic device that interfaces with a computer where the computer images are displayed on the board so they can be manipulated interactively

Interactive Whiteboard Evaluation
This paper examines the ways in which the Whiteboard technology was integrated into a numbers of areas in the curriculum during the first half of the Summer term, 2000.
Teachers who volunteered to pilot the technology received minimal training. The technology was applied to existing lesson plans, used with existing software and the Internet and evaluated in terms of the learning and motivational gains of the students.
