Interactive Whiteboard

We were told yesterday that we will be getting an interactive whiteboard in the department. We have twelve labs so a debate started on where it should go. Our labs come in a variety of shapes and sizes so it may not be suitable for some rooms. Others are not so well provided with inconveniently placed electrical sockets and there are instances where cables are tripping hazards due to the necessity of have a data projector at the full stretch of its electrical cable in able for it to be directly in front of the current whiteboards.

All our science rooms now have a data projector, none are ceiling mounted and most are used from the teachers desk at the front or precariously balanced on top of piles of books to enable it to be used correctly.

It was a bit like watching a game of pass the parcel with most people hoping that the music wouldnt stop when the package was in their hands.
