This assignment has brought to mind the interactive whiteboards that are so prevalent in classrooms today. In the school where I teach every classroom has either a Mimio or Promethean interactive whiteboard installed. I use mine for everything from showing videos to posting homework. These interactive whiteboards or Smart boards rekindle from the past the need of an overhead projector to display information to the whole class or the AVerKey to show whole-class videos from the internet. This technology continues to develop and move forward. Now instead of the teacher giving all the information via this technology, the teacher can receive information from the students. With the use of the Activote clickers for the Promethean and the Mimiovote clickers for the Mimio, students my now become a part of the lesson by answering questions. Thornburg (2009), states that it is the affect of the technology that is rekindled not the technology itself.
