I hope you can understand that the question of who gets an IWB can’t be answered yet because we haven’t even asked it.  The key question before this can be considered is that of how much money can be directed towards this resourcing next year.

So, to help us in eventually answering the question of who/what grades should have IWBs installed next year, I have one simple question…

Why do you want an interactive whiteboard in your classroom next year?

Reason: just curious.
I look forward to your answers.

For those who haven’t got their survey in yet, please try to get it in over the next week.
