Several years ago I became a member of a supportive group of physics teachers trained in the use of a physics teaching pedagogy we have come to call “modeling.” This approach began at Arizona State University under the direction of Dr. David Hestenes. One aspect of the program provides an active listserv for those teachers who are implementing the approach in their teaching of introductory physics. One current discussion topic deals with the use of interactive whiteboards, and I think several of the points that have been posted for discussion are important to make as you consider the use of this technology in your classroom.
