Abstract
The use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) grew dramatically over the past two decades, especially within educational settings. This action research project attempted to determine how IWBs affected engagement, interaction, and learning when used for teacher training. Survey results indicated positive teacher attitudes towards IWBs prior to training, and that these impressions intensified as a result of the demonstration of the IWB’s capabilities. High posttest scores also suggested that IWBs may be effective as a potential tool for delivering content knowledge. Exposing teachers to IWB use during training also appeared to improve their dispositions towards using IWBs for their own classrooms.
