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.
