Abstract
Over the last ten years, advancement in technology has increased two-fold. Fortunately, this advancement has started to filter down into the school education system. The recent introduction of the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) in schools has prompted teachers to raise questions, which not only tackle critical doubts, but also initiate interest and curiosity.
