If your school can afford interactive whiteboards – and you’re determined to use yours – it won’t be a waste of money." - absolutely agree! “It is never a bad idea to invest in an environment that will promote improved teaching and learning.

If your school can afford interactive whiteboards – and you’re determined to use yours – it won’t be a waste of money." If you want to invest in a luxury, travelling in style, having airbags, MP4 player, rosewood interior, electrical seats, "talking intercom system", stainless steel environmetal friendly gas emitting system - GET a MERC 450 SCII if you can afford it, buy it NOW, but ...... make sure you use ALL / MOST of its "toolbars" - from aircon to GPS. Otherwise buy a more homeward bound MERC 180 (1990 model) with LESS "toolbars" on the dashboard and use what is available. What is the point ? Kobus stated: "How determined are you to learn all its features, so that you will use it optimally? If you’re not, an interactive whiteboard may very well be a waste of money". Albie - use your EAIWB optimally daily Kobus, I want to AGREE with your statement: “It is never a bad idea to invest in an environment that will promote improved teaching and learning.
