Jerry Brodkey in his article "We Don’t Need Smart Boards, We Need Smart People" defends "old" face-to-face teacher's approach against the use of evil technology in the classroom. He claims that  it steals precious minutes which are spent on working with computer instead of discussing more important matter with students live. The real experience is needed, not floods of pictures in virtual world, he states. I cannot agree less. Once the teachers creates the library of lessons they can offer so much more than just a discussion. The teachers don't have to spend any time writing/drawing on and rubbing it of the blackboard  When the students are provided with visual and auditory material (usually linked to online sources - facts, videos, quizzes, games etc.), they are more likely to lose atttention (not even by taking notes because they can download the whole presentation). The teachers should keep up with the pace of students' lives, not to draw them back to the unattractive methods of the Middle Ages.

I haven't been given the opportunity to try the Interactive Whiteboard on my own yet, but when there is a chance, I feel like using it in every possible way.
