There has been a recent, and considerable, investment in the installation of interactive whiteboards in schools in the United Kingdom. In part, this has been a response to government pressure for enhanced understanding and use of information and communications technology (ICT) as shown by the National Grid for Learning (NGFL) initiatives and the allocation of ‘Standards Fund’ money in response to school bids for technological improvement.There has been concern, however, that new technology without changing pedagogy will not provide value for money as demonstrated by Greiffenhagen (2000) and McCormick and Scrimshaw (2001). In part the pressure for the introduction of new technology is also a reflection of more widespread teacher understanding of the value of interactive learning as outlined, amongst others by Collins and Cook (2000) and Glover and Law (2002) who provide evidence of the need for a match between teaching approaches and the variety of learning styles favoured by individuals and groups in schools. The pace of installation of the interactive whiteboard units at a cost of about £3,500 per room, and subsequent pedagogic change has not been uniform and some schools in education action zones, or with additional technological college funding, have moved more rapidly to install the technology.
