lot of merit. One concern however would be the siting of the projector in a
mobile situation and shadows on the board. I remember at the conference that
there were some IWBs that had a short throw projector that was on a fram
attached to the board – might be a better solution. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt'>We put a moveable board (ie. not wall
mounted and using a portable projector) into the Library for staff training. It
meant that we could have classes in the library during the day and get the best
possible use from the board. Staff meetings and PD sessions are usually after
school so we are able to fully utilize the board; after all, it’s a
costly expense and if it’s not used constantly, it becomes the white elephant
as you suggested.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
