 * //Are there any issues associated with using Interactive Whiteboards? //**

COST: In New Zealand, the price of a typical interactive whiteboard is approx $7000 - $9000. In addition, a stand for mounting is needed. Although the interactive whiteboard could be mounted on a wall, it is normally difficult to change the classroom environment and space accordingly.

SENSITIVITY: Interactive whiteboards are sensitive to someone kicking or pushing it. It then requires recalibration.

LIGHTING: The lighting in the classroom must be dim enough for students to see the projector and still light enough to keep students engaged, often requiring special lighting installations.
