[Watford] Something else discussed last night

[Peter Grant]

Yes - it even looks better and more modern than a tablet in the teachers
hand linked over the wireless network to the PC in the classroom connected
to the projector - allowing them to write on the board white standing at
the back of the classroom
Or passing the tablet round so each pupil can write on the baord without
standing up.
Worryingly, an interactive whiteboard costs more than the tablet...and
isn't as functional (or as cool when used).
