What Is It? “An interactive whiteboard is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer’s desktop onto the board’s surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.”
How does it work? • The whiteboard is made up of 3 major sections – a computer, a digital projector and the interactive whiteboard itself! • To use the whiteboard it is the same as using the mouse on your computer but instead you use your finger to browse!!!
