Interactive Whiteboard (IWB)


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.
