The resultssuggest that the convergence of multimedia elements along with a connectivity environment and itskinesthetic nature are great potentials of this tool. However, integral teachers' training and contextsupport are key elements to avoid a disruptive usage. Further empirical research on the integration ofIWB in the classroom and academic performance is needed
