There are a lot of interesting opinions on the web regarding IWBs (Interactive White Boards). They can certainly be useful, but I'd first be asking what do students and teachers want to be able to do in their curriculum.
The IWBs could be a big help or a huge timesink. There is also the question of who uses them? If it's just a glorified felt board with the teacher still at the center of the classroom, that's not a Montessori implementation.

(Just look at that photo at right. It's so awkward and staged. It gives quite an uneasy feeling, right?)
