A lot has changed in the world of Interactive Whiteboards since 2008. In fact, you could say the landscape has completely changed since last year. When I gave this course for the first time, there weren’t a lot of Interactive Whiteboards to choose from in Ireland. Essentially, you could divide your options in two; you could have a permanent IWB on your wall for around €6,000 or you could have a portable solution for about €2,500. The Internet was your only hope of resources if you didn’t happen to own a Promethean or Smartboard. Smaller companies were beginning to emerge but were hampered by exclusivity deals so no-one had really heard of them. The debate was: is it really worth spending an extra €3,500 on a permanent IWB solution?
