My biggest argument with these things is the justification of cost to quality of learning experience they can facilitate. I have seen some good lessons with IWB's but nothing that justifies the expense. Where is the credible research? My head of Maths uses them well and I am impressed with what he does with them, but I still don't see the real value of these things throughout a school.

From my personal experience and point of view, the best place for an IWB is in the classroom peferably the home base for a class or the home base for a teacher who can make the tool their own. Schools who stick IWBs in pointless places as shown will be the first to write off their potential - some will also omit a internet powered data point nearby. As we have both pontificated before, any classroom digital tool is only as useful as the teacher utilising it in their learning program.
