The study results indicated that, in general, using interactive whiteboards was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. This means that we can expect a student at the 50th percentile in a classroom without the technology to increase to the 66th percentile in a classroom using whiteboards.
In addition, three features inherent in interactive whiteboards have a statistically significant relationship with student achievement.

- in 23 percent of the cases, teachers had better results without the interactive whiteboards
- some potential pitfalls
- Using the voting devices but doing little with the findings.
- Not organizing or pacing the content well.
- Using too many visuals.
- Paying too much attention to reinforcing features.
- Teachers should think through how they intend to organize information.
- They should group information into small, meaningful segments before they start developing the digital flipcharts.
- Digital flipcharts should contain visuals, but those visuals should clearly focus on the important information. Also, no single flipchart should contain too many visuals or too much written information.
- After asking a question and getting student responses using voting devices, the teacher should typically discuss the correct answer along with the incorrect answers, making sure to elicit opinions from as many students as possible.
- When using reinforcing features like virtual applause, teachers should make sure that students focus on why an answer is correct or incorrect. Although these features can produce high engagement and certainly enliven the atmosphere in a classroom, they can also be distracting if used without a clear focus on essential content.
