It looks like blackboards and chalk will soon become a thing of the past, at least here in Australia.
"The State Government will install 200 high-tech digital whiteboards in NSW public schools, which it says will "transform the way education is delivered", over the next year. The interactive whiteboards, along with video-conferencing technology and e-learning tools, will take up $28 million of tomorrow's 2007-08 state budget.
The digital whiteboards are essentially touch-sensitive screens connected to a regular computer and data projector.
Students and teachers can interact with data displayed on the boards - such as text documents, images and rich video - using a finger or stylus. The boards can also display websites and other internet content."
