I have to be honest. I like to keep things real, and I’m skeptical here. This video makes us excited as teachers, but let’s face it: (at my school, anyway) the only teachers who get technology are the ones who teach gateway subjects. We just don’t have that much money, and what we do have is concentrated into a handful of classrooms while the others know better than to even ask. Also, in the video we see one child working independently. I know my other 34 would never be so patient. I know, I know… there are other types of activities which would involve more students. I guess I’m being a Negative Nancy, but I just think we should all consider reality before we get stars in our eyes over smartboards (let alone 3D on smartboards). Dr. Mims, don’t kill me, and maybe you can change my mind by the time we’re done with this class, but I can’t help thinking about what else that much money could buy…

Lots of possibilities for using this in almost every subject. And, it looks like fun!

I have never seen anything like this (except on television shows). This is really cool. I would love to use this, and I know students would love to too.

This is fantastic! I just ordered a new whiteboard to work with the eBeam we won in a drawing last year. Can’t wait to make it work for us in such a great way!!!

This video is awesome! I am just in awe by the technology that’s out there. I can see how technology, as shown in the video, can be costly. However, is there any amout of money too much to invest in our children’s future? I am really excited about seeing this. I believe, and others may agree, that in time, school systems will do away with the use of pens, pencils, and paper and become more advanced!

How fun this looks! I can see this being useful for almost any grade. Pre-k with learning to draw and recognize shapes to a high school class learning about team work through designing a city (have a planning dept, mayor, city council, DOT, individual developers, and so on).

I think this is a wonderful way for students to interact with technology. My school currently has Smart Boards in each classroom. This advancement is beneficial to the student.

This makes me so excited that I have an IWB for the next school year. I can’t wait to start experimenting with it!

In my undergrad i took this same class and to my amazement the teacher was a principal at a local middle school in Murfreesboro and we went on a field trip to his school and the school had one. People generally think of how expensive things of this nature are but they didn’t have to pay for it all it takes is for teachers to apply for grants. He has each grade level apply for them to bring cool and new things to their school each year… how exciting!

Interactive whiteboards are a great way to get students excited about learning. I am a 7th grade Language Arts teacher and I think it would be really neat to take students on a virtual field trip to Verona while reading Romeo and Juliet!

These whiteboards are really cool. I think they are great, especially for Pre-K and Elementary. This is a great way to keep a kid’s attention.

I am blown away by this! I want one for my house! The students are allowed to be creative and there are endless opportunities for teaching.

I think this is a great idea. Allowing children hands on/interactive experience while also learning has got to be beneficial. You could use this for a numerous amount of lessons and it could making learning more fun and interesting for the students.

I think that this is excellent. I would love to see in person this being used and would love to have the oppurtunity to incorporate it into my classroom someday!

I agree with Tricia. The tool is very cool and innovative, but I think you would have to be very crafty to work it into instruction.

I think that the whiteboard is an excellent tool that allows children the opportunity to interact and learn at the same time. What a great concept.

Students would find interactive whiteboards fun and engaging. I would love to have one in my classroom.

Last semester I visited a Kindergarten class where the students used something like that to help them with reading. The teacher called it a “Smart Board.” The kids absolutely loved it, and I recall them reading some rather large words for five and six year olds.
