Abstract

This paper discusses the early findings from the first Interactive Whiteboard Project in the Irish school system. The project involves eight schools comprising primary schools, post primary schools, a special school for the deaf and an all Irish speaking school. At the end of the project's first year of implementation research data was collected from six of the eight schools. Findings indicate that the Interactive Whiteboards have been well received and utilized by the participating teachers with notable positive effects on teaching and learning, ICT integration and changing teaching style. Even at this early stage in the Irish project's development there would appear to be parallels with the positive benefits already reported through earlier, more extensive UK studies suggesting that the benefits of Interactive Whiteboards may have universal teacher appeal that transcend local cultural contexts, curricula, and education systems.
