An interactive whiteboard is a digital device that allows users to project files and manipulate them on a board’s surface.
An interactive whiteboard will only function when a computer, projector and LCD display are present.
A whiteboard will display whatever is shown on a user’s computer screen. Whiteboards allow students to showcase their thinking, share ideas, and brainstorm and best of all it’s not permanent!
Students realize the power of being able to erase and are not as intimidated to share and learn together.
An interactive whiteboard can be used to organise information more effectively, provide digital charts and visuals for students, use the board for question-and-answer sessions and use reinforcing visual and audio features for students.
