Interactive whiteboards are a revolutionary way to share information on your PC with your customers & colleagues or pupils in the classroom, training room or presentation room.

By connecting a PC and data projector, an interactive whiteboard provides you with a powerful information and presentation tool.

Possible Educational Uses

Interactive whiteboards present educational resources in a highly interactive way and are suitable for whole class and small group settings. Pupils with special needs can particularly benefit from the presentation of multimedia content on a large screen as it can aid in both information processing and retention. Optimal use of an interactive whiteboard involves both the teacher and students using it in a classroom situation. It can, for example, be used to:

Ø       Present student work more publicly

Ø       Show video clips that explain difficult concepts (in any curricular area)

Ø       Demonstrate how an educational software program works

Ø       Cater more effectively for visually impaired students and other students with special needs

Ø       Display Internet resources in a teacher-directed manner

Ø       Create handwritten drawings, notes and concept maps during class time, all of which can be saved for future reference
