The episode was about white boards in the classroom, a discussion on how they are used with in the classroom the benefits and the downfalls.

One of the main problems that is seen, is that teachers are using the white board however they are not interactively using with the students. That the tool is engaging the teacher not the students.

I can see some simple solutions for this problem; districts allowing professional development on using the white boards interactively, trusting students to try it and teach themselves as well, and the teachers need to design instruction so that students have to use the white board.

Any other suggestions?
