The Whiteboard Blog was set up in December 2007 as a way of sharing ideas to support teachers using their interactive whiteboards in the classroom. As well as interactive whiteboards it also covers other educational technologies that would be of interest to teachers such as digital storytelling and other "web 2.0" tools. This book contains the best articles from over three years of the blog and is packed with ideas to make the most of your interactive whiteboard in the classroom.
