MPG:
Thanks enormously for posting that link to Henri Picciotto's response to the (igno)rant by Bill Ferriter "Why I Hate Interactive Whiteboards". (MPG's posting is pasted in full below my signature).
And thanks even more for bringing Mr Picciotto to our attention - his teaching work and his blog are terrific, in my opinion. I plan to study all of his work in detail. I'd strongly recommend that all of us - and in particular the "mathematically correct" amongst us - should check him out for some very sound thinking on mathematics education.
See:

(and so on).
