[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here - one of the amazing things about PBs is that you can prepare a lesson to show on the board ahead of time. You can prepare 10 lessons to show on the board ahead of time.  And then you can save them and go back to them tomorrow after you updated them.  So, it's kind of like a fancy overhead projector roll.  I was in awe of overhead projector rolls and, now that it's 2011 and you'd expect progress from that, I love the PB type of technology. When you only have one or two white or chalk boards, a LOT of class time is lost having to write things up during the course of an actual lesson.  The technology allows more class time to be spent actually engaging with the students.

An added bonus is that you can also do all sorts of cool things, like country match puzzles.  That may sound like unnecessary bells and whistles, but, believe me, most kids love technology, and the chance to drag a country into the correct spot on the PB is way more fun than a traditional puzzle or filling it in on paper. It engages them in a way that didn't used to be available.

That said, I'm a huge techie and so I dive right in.  There are plenty of people who do not use the PBs to their full potential.[/quote]
