Abstract
A self‐study methodology is used to explore the impact of introducing interactive whiteboard technology to a primary school classroom. Several key insights, described as ‘nodal moments’, provided the impetus for the teacher to review her practice, reconsider her students’ learning approaches and explore the relationship between the introduction of a new technology and the teaching and learning that was occurring in her classroom. In particular, she considers the nature of engagement and the ways in which the technology initially moved her away from an active pedagogy.
