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
