 Dr. Marzano talks about a study on how helpful interactive whiteboards are. The interesting thing he found is that 23 percent of cases, teachers had better results without the interactive whiteboards. I learned from this article that you can insert flipcharts that remind them to stop the presentation students can process and analyze the new information. Something I thought would be helpful for my future classroom is the advice Dr. Marzano gave about using technology in a way that will not distract from the lesson. One of the things I thought was really helpful was that the teacher should have the class discuss why they chose their answer even if they all got it correct.
