What is an Interactive Whiteboard

An interactive whiteboard is really 3 pieces of equipment linked together , A computer +projector+A touch-sensitive screen - the interactive whiteboard

This combination of technologies turns the interactive whiteboard into a very large computer screen. With a pointer, or even a finger, the user can write on the board or control computer programs. It is ideal for whole-class teaching as it removes the need to have large groups huddled around a single computer screen.  The technology is extremely flexible. Its screen can be used to display not only computer software to a class but, with the appropriAate connections, web pages and videos, whether on DVD, VHS or CD-ROM. It has the potential to replace the classroom roller whiteboard, overhead projector, video recorder and television. This is why Interactive Whiteboards the choice for the future.
