This review is from: How to Use an Interactive Whiteboard Really Effectively in your Secondary Classroom (Paperback)

This is not a how to book for taking advantage of a digital white board. This is guide for a campaign to update 19th century administrators on 21st century technological advances in presentation.
It reads pretty much like an ad for the next version of Windows, telling you how much you will like it when you get it, with very little supporting examples.
If you read the previous book on the Elementary classroom, you will quickly see the only difference is Elementary has been replaced with Secondary in the title.

A good overview of the Interactive Whiteboard. Jenny does a good job of giving you everything you need to get started. I do feel that these resources are available for free utilizing web resources so in hindsight I probably wouldn't have purchased it. If you're comfortable using web resources I probably wouldn't waste the money.
