It's called the eXSpace and will be a showcase for a range of new and emerging technologies, a place to study new pedagogies and a sandpit to try out new ideas and methods. At Plymouth Institute of Education we have been using a number of classroom technologies, but perhaps one of the most misunderstood is the SMART Interactive Whiteboard.

Technology integration results in digital tools being embedded into learning, so that for example maker cultures emerge, or the classroom activities are flipped , supporting more effective pedagogies and improving student learning outcomes. One example is when classrooms began to be equipped with interactive whiteboards (IWBs).

And time and again, such beliefs are the justification for placing students into a specific style of learning so that a class can be 'managed' more effectively. It is lazy pedagogy, and the only reason I see that such beliefs persist, is that it is a convenient untruth which allows some teachers to stay within their comfort zones.
