The research by Dr Miriam Judge of Dublin City University, is based on use of the technology in eight Dublin schools.
It is estimated the high tech boards have replaced blackboards in 15% of schools around Ireland.

School creativity 'needs support'
From the BBC
Creativity in schools needs to be taken "far more seriously" if it is to avoid being squeezed out of a crowded curriculum, says a report from MPs.
The Commons education committee warns that creativity is a "second-order priority" in England's schools.
The MPs say creativity should be a fundamental part of learning and should receive adequate funding.
"Successful schools are creative schools," said the committee chairman, Labour MP Barry Sheerman.
