Happy to mention to others when I know my twitter network would have an opinion.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Great to hear that one of my posts is worthy of mentioning by others. I think I’ll need to try twitter out properly. I’ve known about it for ages but I seem to have so much Web 2.0 running through my browser, that none of it gets used as much as I’d like!

Now that teachers have had a chance to think about it, they’re affirming the need for our students to be able to access and reach the boards. Things are going smoothly, and our installations started today.

Now we start the training on Friday. Height is really only a minor issue in the context of the significant learning curve (pardon the pun on this blog) that now needs to take place with our staff.

Hi — I twittered your post yesterday to ask people to drop past and leave their opinion. Some I think thought it was my question so twittered the response back. So here is what they said in case they didn’t leave a comment:

mesmericmay – IWB at our school they are in all our IE classrooms all at the height were they can reach the top of the screen

charbeck – the iwb needs to be at a height similar to a regular white board. It is the projector that needs to be mounted overhead.

Seems to me you either provide robust, stable steps for vertically-challenged students, or use an adjustable whiteboard stand like the one here http://tinyurl.com/68c6an
