Interactive Whiteboards

As schools move progressively into a digital learning environment, interactive whiteboards are being widely adopted in primary and secondary classrooms.

Connected physically to a computer and a projector by a USB cable, or wirelessly using technology such as Bluetooth, the whiteboard display typically emulates the computer mouse and keyboard and is operated by using a special pen, or finger touch, depending on the model. Either front or rear projection models can be used and software is available to support all learning areas.

Further information on the technology of interactive whiteboards can be found
