I have found an issue with my interwrite. This issue is remembering to plug it in at night to allow it to charge and be ready to go during the day. Three times I have forgotten to do this and it isn't usable when I go to use it. Remembering to keep it charged is a problem I need to work on! Our school has said they will offer training courses in using the interwrite to allow teachers to become more proficient. However, it's been over three months and I still haven't heard anything.
There is a teacher in the district who is apparently very well-versed in using an interwrite and she had multiple teachers in her room observing her use of the interwrite as a learning tool. Observing another teacher using it in action in the classroom is a good way to see how it can actually be utiluzed in the classroom. There is a big difference between using a learning tool in a presentation with all adults compared to using it in a classroom of 10 year olds. I look forward to learning more about using this tool in my classroom to engage my students. I think it will be beneficial to their learning.

Iam a school mathteacher in Lisbon, portugal.I just begin using the Interwrite in the classroom. The pupils loved it. We have two boards in the school , only 2 0r 3 teacherare using. It is interesting but is difficult.
I am a trainer of Interwrite and other classroom technology products. I suggest having a place where you put your pad when you are finished using it (when I taught I used a file holder that stood upright on my desk). Tell your students to remind you, you know how good they are at reminding you that you forgot something, it is what they live for!!! On your status bar where you click to attach devices try the help menu. Go to Interwrite workspace software>interactive mode and read through all the help and tools to learn more about the functions of interwrite (there's tons to learn).
