Abstract
In this paper, we review our findings from three years of research into multi-touch tables to support collaborative learning in classrooms. Findings indicate that multi-touch tables can lead to the development of joint problem spaces and more interactive discussions, and that when placed in a classroom setting, can be used to facilitate small group, bewteen-group and whole-class learning. However, the use of tabletops in a classroom setting requires consideration of the complex nature of the classroom environment, and attention must be paid to how the teacher, technology, teams and tasks fit together.
