Revised Problem and Questions

Here is my revised problem statement:
I plan to determine if the use of interactive white boards increases engagement, as assessed and reported by the teacher, for elementary school students.

Who: elementary school students
What: usage of interactive white boards
Why: impact...to increase engagement

My questions are as follows:
1. Is there increased pupil motivation when lessons are presented on an interactive white board versus text?
2. Do students have increased enjoyment in learning when lessons are presented on an interactive white board?
3. Do students participate more actively when material is presented on an interactive white board?

I'm still not completely sure of all of this, so any suggestions are always greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Amy

    Hi, My school has smart boards in all the rooms. I find there is a huge range between how they are being used. I think they can be used frequently, but poorly, resulting in less engagement. How are you going to mesure the quality of smartboard usage? How are you going to measure engagement?

    I noticed Jennifer

    thank you,
