Greetings Steve,
We have large smartboards installed in our main classrooms. They were expensive to purchase, fiddly to set up, and difficult to use effectively. Very few faculty bother with them. They prefer either plain white boards, or the document camera for projecting/recording hardcopy images. For TBL use, there are better and cheaper alternatives. Large post-it boards or handheld white boards are two examples that work well for us.

Greetings from sunny Michigan!



I'm new to the Collaboration and to TBL but have worked in the technology/medical simulation space for some time.  I would like to some feedback as to the utility of SmartBoards (or equivalent) in TBL activities.  It seems like it would be a nice fit and would allow for groups to share work in real time with the ability to capture electronically.  Is this technology used widely in TBL?  Thoughts?  If you were putting in a new TBL classroom, would you include them?




Thanks in advance!



Steve
