Steljes
The introduction of interactive whiteboards from 1999 onwards inspired many teachers to revise the ways in which they taught and expected students to learn. The study by Anna Smith, funded by Steljes, was for a long time the only UK evaluation of classroom use of interactive whiteboards, and is cited in many later studies. That by John Cuthell was disseminated at the SITE Conference, Charleston, South Carolina and published in the conference proceedings.
