Can interactive whiteboards be used without an Internet/network connection?

• the learning process is much more dynamic and fun

• they foster students-teacher engagement

• both are correct

What would be the ideal quote that best illustrates the great value of this tool:

• “Screens for life”

• "Amusement in the classroom”

• “Learning success is at your fingertips”
