Great show. Any chance of getting the reference to international research mentioned in the show e.g. increased gap between teacher laptops and student laptops show the better!

Great show guys, always great to have young guys like Ben, lecturing us old guys on classroom technology. Would like to have heard Chris Betcha in a face off with Ben Jones on IWB’s. I think Ben forgot to mention the $1000 projector in his $55 IWB too.
Would like to have heard more about the netbook roll out from Ben, I think he brushed over a few major issues with the program, but time will tell. Let’s hope the laptop program doesn’t come to a deap stop in four years time. cheers Darren

Hi Darren,

Some good points – your idea of a head to head dicsussion on the IWB’s sounds good. There is a good debate in that one – possibly something to do online.

Cheers

Tony
