Using the Interactive Whiteboard

There are many advantages to using interactive whiteboards. The following are probably the main ones.

• They provide electronically all the familiar features of a traditional classroom blackboard or ordinary whiteboard.

• They replace the scenario of a large group crowding around a single computer. The interactive whiteboard allows a large group to sit and participate comfortably in a presentation.

• You can enhance any presentation or lesson by easily integrating video, animation, graphics, text and audio with the spoken presentation.

• You can display material from a number sources such as CD-ROMs, websites, DVDs, VHS tapes and television. There are other methods of presentation of information on the horizon offering further flexibility.

• You can usually edit information directly during lessons and save any changes or additions to the computer.
