Our Roundtable:

• Ben and Joan host a round table discussion about SMARTBoard use with Chris Betcher from Australia and Tom Barrett from the United Kingdom. We discuss:
  1) Is there a SMARTBoard/iwb pedagogy?
  2) Does SMARTBoard/iwb uncover or amplify other pedagogies? What does it show and when?
  3) What does effective SMARTBoard/iwb usage look like?
  4) What is the next step for SMARTBoard/iwb usage for: a beginning user, an intermediate user, an advanced user?
