Figure 23igure 23 shows that self-reported training needs are greatest for those departments
who are not yet using their IWBs. Not surprisingly the 34 departments that claim to use the
IWB every lesson have lower anxiety about training, however the score of 70 implies they
still require additional IWB training to get the most out of using IWBs.
