The interactive whiteboard has the potential of engaging students to become active participants in learning. It can support students through presentations of multimedia content that aids in information processing and retention. As with any resource used in the teaching and learning process there are leadership implications that need to be taken into consideration. Research shows there is much more to the effective use of this technology than simply ensuring teachers have access to this equipment. Research carried out by Derek Glover and colleagues at Keele University highlights some important implications of using interactive whiteboards in the classroom so as to ensure there is a link between technology and pedagogy. In this research the authors point to three progress-ive stages to help develop the concept of interactivity.
