Which interactive whiteboard should I choose – a hard one or a soft one?

Monday, November 30th, 2009 | IWBs

Some make them Hard some make them Soft

  All swear their one’s the best

The question that’s presented oft’

  In which should you invest

 

Young Goldilocks was likewise vexed

  When she had to select

The hard-soft choice left her perplexed

  So both she did reject

 

Proponents of the Hard proclaim

  Beware – the Soft will scratch

More durable – Hard’s claim to fame –

  You’ll never need a patch

 

Sheer rubbish does the Soft retort

  Our board’s robust and strong

Of damage seldom a report

  Hard’s reasoning’s all wrong

 

But if you lose the Hard board’s pen

  You’ll get a nasty sting

Your fingers – you may try all ten –

  To you won’t mean a thing

 

On Soft boards you can’t rest your palms

  Its brain you will confuse

To arm and wrist you can do harm

  Good reason to refuse

 

A hard boiled egg’s superior

  By that you do infer

That soft eggs are inferior

   But many won’t concur

 

At picnics soft eggs just won’t do

  And so you may decide

To boil them until they are blue

  Before you take a ride

 

But if your breakfast toast you dip

  – It’s done by girls and boys –

Much diff’rent to a picnic trip

  A hard egg brings no joys

 

From Goldilocks and yolks we learn

  Give ear to reason’s voice

While these debates can twist and turn

  – Just you can make the choice

I’d like to add my little bit
(Though rhyming is quite hard)
To add my voice to what’s been writ
By Khanya’s mighty bard

Technology is growing fast
Computers everywhere
1000 schools we’ve long since passed
All faces smiles bear

Together a united team
Great wonders can perform
Our task impossible did seem
Yet now it is the norm

With daily blogs and Goldilocks
And boards both hard and soft
We’ll train until each classroom rocks
And learning’s held aloft

Computers are the easy bit
But attitudes must change
Each teacher’s heart a flame that’s lit
Across the subject range

Unless the kids they can inspire
New learning to attain
Then I.T. that we so admire
Will all have been in vain

an EIAWB in full use
hard or soft, it must amuse,
pick your choice and apply your duce
till the data projector lamp fuse
and don’t blame or accuse
hard or soft in use
take it,no refuse.
