Complete Review of All IWBs
I have created two documents which summarise all my findings on IWBs available in Ireland. If companies wish for their IWB to appear in future summaries, make sure to contact me. Likewise, companies should make sure to contact me if their information changes, (e.g. prices, inaccuracies, etc.)
Teachnet Podcast #7 – Interactive Whiteboards
This week I was invited for the second time to speak on the Teachnet podcast station and the topic was Interactive Whiteboards. I’m fairly happy with what I had to say although I failed to mention many of the options by name except for Promethean and Smart. I mentioned eBeam too. However, I regret that […]
ICT procurement frameworks from the NCTE
Thanks to Batt O’Keefe’s decision to award €2.2 million to some primary schools for ICT equipment, the NCTE have decided to introduce some frameworks in order to spend all that money. There are guidelines on projectors prices, laptop prices, printer prices and visualiser prices…but no mention of Interactive Whiteboards at all. So, the question on […]
IWBFAQ: Why has eBeam not been promoted as much as Smart and Promethean?
Why has eBeam not been promoted as much as Smart and Promethean? There’s both historic and capacity reasons for this. Promethean have a “relationship” with the IPPN which means they are promoted hugely by them. Also, both Smart and Promethean have huge teams behind them. EBeam is used around the world, probably just as much, […]
Launching I.W.B.F.A.Q.
I’ve decided to start a new iniative on this web site called IWBFAQ, which stands for Interactive Whiteboards – Frequently Asked Questions.

Lisdoire Computers – the cheapest IWBs in Ireland They have been doing the education exhibition circuit since […]
Promethean software won't be free but…
Ok, so it’s not going to be free, but Promethean’s new software, to be released in March can be summed up in one word – sexy. Daryl, their software guy, allowed me to have a sneak preview at it at IPPN and there are some excellent improvements. The other great news is that if you […]
Is Promethean Software about to be free?
Are my dreams about to come true? Last summer I met with two Promethean representatives and I spoke to them about SmartBoard’s Notebook software and advised them that they offered it for free. I suggested to them that ActivPrimary may do something similar never thinking it would happen as it is one of the best […]
One week left to TouchIT
There’s only one week left before the Irish launch of the new TouchIT Interactive Whiteboard and frankly I’m very excited. This could be the best IWB yet! So far, there has only been one IWB that lets you interact with your finger and it costs over €5,000. This one costs half that and appears to […]
