IWB and Special Need

A IWB is the combination of a computer,
a projector and a device that makes the
image an interactive one.
We are going to get at least as many
benefits for our students as with a
computer.

This class is created from the belief that knowledge must be shared. It´s
unethical to keep it to yourself. Share, enhance, teach and transmit must be the
pillars of education. So I encourage you to distribute and share it.
