Interactive whiteboards have been brilliant as part of a tactic to convince some techno phobic teachers that ICT does not have to be difficult and they can use ICT equipment such as the Interactive Whiteboards with ease and little training. If trained properly in the use of the Interactive Whiteboard teachers can use them in more flexible ways, enabling students to work at their own pace and in their own style. Also as more and more teachers are becoming increasingly creative in their teaching styles the whiteboards can be harnessed in countless imaginative ways to make learning more interesting and fun. They have the potential to make a great teacher even better by giving them more options in the way they teach. One way in which this can be done is with modified interactive whiteboard software that can further improve the experience of the Whiteboard.

The interaction between mobile technology and the whiteboards is also another important factor in the future of Interactive Whiteboards as we live in a world where so many people have access to a camera phone, the interactive whiteboard offers a place to show and share images while building group collaboration and discussion making it especially useful for children in schools.
If interactive whiteboards are to continue to be successful, then research into best practice and an understanding of where their educational benefits are at their best needs to continue.
