On the fifth
week (10th October 2012), we had a lecture on the topic of
interactive whiteboard (IWB). Interactive whiteboard combines a dry erase
whiteboard with an LCD projector and is usually mounted on a wall or floor
stand. Powered by easy-to-use software, the whiteboard becomes a computer
screen viewable by an entire classroom. The projector projects the content from
the computer onto the surface of the board while the teacher controls the
content either with a pointer or a touch of the hand instead of a keyboard and
mouse. The combination of software with the projector results in much more than
simply a projected image.
There
are many advantages by using the interactive whiteboards. One of them is that
they provide electronically all the familiar features of a traditional
classroom blackboard or ordinary whiteboard. Besides that, this situation are
able to 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. We are also can edit information
directly during lessons and save changes or additions to the computer. It
proved that interactive whiteboard able to give many benefits towards learning
and teaching process in school and other educational institutions.
