Interactive Whiteboard
An interactive whiteboard is a piece of hardware that looks
much like a standard whiteboard but it connects to a computer and a projector
in the classroom to make a very powerful tool. When connected, the interactive
whiteboard becomes a giant, touch-sensitive version of the computer screen.
Instead of using the mouse, you can control your computer
through the interactive whiteboard screen just by touching it with a special
pen (or, on some types of boards, with your finger). Anything that can be
accessed from your computer can be accessed and displayed on the interactive
whiteboard, for example Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, photographs,
websites or online materials.
Using special software included with the interactive
whiteboard, you can also interact with images and text projected on the board:
rearranging them, changing their size, colour, etc. This offers a much more
interactive experience than using a standard whiteboard or using a data
projector alone.
Uses for interactive white board includes :
1. running software that is loaded onto the connected PC
such as a web browser or proprietary software in classroom.
2. capturing and saving notes written on a whiteboard to the
connected PC.
3. capturing notes written on a graphic tablets connected to
the whiteboard.
4. controlling the PC from the whiteboard using click and
drag, markup.
using OCR software to translate cursive writing on a graphic
tablet into text.
