This research project investigated the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in one primary school (R-7). The NSW Quality Teaching Framework was used as part of professional development activities with teachers to improve their practice. Using activity theory and drawing upon observations and interview data, tensions are identified and described about the uptake and effective use of IWBs across the curriculum.
