10. Working on a whiteboard is like conducting a symphony. You're bringing in drag-and-drop collaborative writing and problem solving activities, then cueing up a film clip or bringing in the Internet to do research. There are many seemingly disparate functions and features, that when used together, create a holistic lesson. http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=10621 http://www.soulful-song.org/

11. We unplug our students, believing that laptops, iPods, cell phones, and even whiteboards have no real place in teaching the three Rs. As a result, students fail to see the relevance of their education as they judge the delivery and not the content. http://connected.waldenu.edu/index.php/blogs/35-policy-matters/536-interactive-whiteboards-uneven-learning.html
