12. Disadvantages Some reports have stated that there is a great deal of higher motivational increase, but the data makes it unclear if this effect does wear off after familiarity sets in. Do students lose their interest and their motivation after the board becomes part of their classroom environment and learning? Also, dos the board keep the student’s attention for a large part of their school year? Questions like these are still being researched on how the smart board can keep the student’s motivation for learning at a high level. For the teacher’s: a) too many wires b) PC friendly not Mac friendly, c) technical problems----too many frequent recalibrations for the systems d) setup time in the classroom is an issue e) some of the electrical and data wires to go to all the different components created a large amount of wire clutter f) issue of a shadow on the board by the students and teachers while they were using the board.
