Interactive White Boards...

I am very interested in determining if and how interactive white board technology impacts student engagement, knowledge acquisition, and knowledge retention.  These are factors I will attempt to study over the next eighteen months, and have gained administrator approval to do so.  First I will survey students and teachers in an effort to find initial thoughts about technology in the classroom.  After the survey, I hope to interview students and teachers about their experiences with technology in the classroom.  Classroom observation will follow as I try to watch engagment and teacher practices.  My research will conclude as I attempt to find correlations between student test scores and teacher usage of interactive white boards.  I look forward to hearing comments and recommendations.  Thanks for your help!
