The White Board
Have you had specific experiences with the interactive white board, Brandon? While this is not new to classrooms, its full potential is usually not met. Often the board is used in a two-dimensional way to project static material rather than maximizing its three-dimensional capability. What are your thoughts on that?

Yes, Paul, the technology itself doesn't impress students :) Teachers still must design the instruction effectively and use the technology wisely.
