Interactive Whiteboard

I have had not much experience with whiteboards but I have read about them and I have seen them at Allendale GVSU library. It sounds and looks like they are fun to use in classrooms because it can get students attention and engaged on the subject. I also think that using Whiteboards in classrooms, teachers must have to be very creative to get the most of the benefits of this tool and get everyone to collaborate on the work. Even that I think they are fun, I think that it would be more beneficial if each student would have a tablet or a computer to work with. Using one of this devises students could have the opportunity to go back and forth as necessary on their information presented. It would be more hands on, on learning.

The only place I have seen this type of whiteboards are in GVSU new library. The first time I saw it I was like WOW! But that wear out soon. I thought it was very awesome how the professor was using it, but it felt like it did not helped me at all. It was just like an Elmo and a projector, nothing more and nothing less.
