The effective use of technology can be brought about by CPD for staff. I think this study illustrates how effective use of the IWB can bring about improvement in learner achievement and also the importance of training in their use. @NickPack You make the very good point about the effective application of appropriate technologies.

But there is another side, isn't there? It seems to me that what the research is actually saying is that a teaching tool well used is effective. Well, no surprise there. My point would be that this doesn't have to be about Interactive Whiteboards but about a more general point of effective application of appropriate technologies. I think, of much more interest, are the three transformative applications identified within the study - especially the nature of using dynamic student feedback effectively and the visual nature of learning. I'm afraid remain unconvinced that IWBs are inherently beneficial - with or withour good CPD!
