Technology has come such a long way over the last number of years that learning has changed completely. The facilities available to teachers and students have become much more technologically advanced.

An interactive whiteboard gives you the ability to use a display as a touchscreen device for everything from whiteboard to collaboration. An interactive whiteboard is a tool that allows multiple people to engage in a collaborative experience using a touchscreen to take notes, annotate content, and more.

Research studies have found that:

1. Interactive whiteboards support a range of learning styles; visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

2. The use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom leads to consistent improvements across all subjects.

3. Interactive whiteboards have very positive impacts on the attention, attitude and motivation of all pupils and produce a co-operative, community of learning ethos in the classroom.

4. Interactive whiteboards help with teaching abstract and difficult concepts and complex ideas - visual tools help pupils concentrate for longer and understand more fully.

There are two major types of interactive display whiteboards. First is a stand-alone display. This is a display screen that can be interacted with directly. The images show on the screen the same as they would on a computer display or digital signage screen. The difference being that touch is enabled. The other major type of interactive whiteboard uses an interactive projector – most commonly a short-throw projector that will be installed just above the display surface.

In addition, Sharing ideas through an interactive whiteboard is a way that companies can take an idea to the next level. Companies find a real benefit in the ability to easily share ideas using interactive whiteboards. Not to mention, being able to share and convey ideas in such a short amount of time increases the speed that new initiatives can begin with everyone on board. Saving time saves companies money. Interactive whiteboards are also heavily utilized in the education space to enhance the learning process. What’s more, interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instruction and post the material for review by students at a later time. This can be a very effective instructional strategy for students who benefit from repetition, who need to see the material presented again, for students who are absent from school, for struggling learners, and for review.

Being a high end multi-media teaching equipment, IQ Board all-in-one whiteboard (hereinafter referred to as IQAio) is integrated with central control system, computer, IWB, document camera and audio amplifier, forming a perfect multi-media classroom solution together with a projector. IQAio Classroom solution is more convenient for teachers in class than the traditional infrared interactive whiteboard.

Interactive whiteboards have brought significant improvements in the education sector by simplifying the learning processes. The technology has been integrated in all levels of learning including primary school, high school and institutions of higher learning. Though the technology has been around for more than two decades, its use has only grown exponentially over the past few years.

The article below explores advantages of interactive whiteboard over normal blackboard.

1. Versatile Use

Interactive Whiteboards are effective in numerous settings that require spontaneous, quick-feedback. They are used in interactive exercises, brainstorming sessions and classroom discussions. Whiteboards do not need to be hooked up to electrical outlets or computers and can be used anytime. There are a large variety of whiteboards available, varying in size and features.

2. Participative

Whiteboards are collaborative and encourage participation. More than one person can use the board at any given time, so whiteboards multiply response and participation. They are invaluable teaching tools that facilitate the input of everyone involved. Teachers routinely use them to motivate disinterested and shy students and reward and recognize the efforts of enthusiastic students. According to David Miller et. al., in the book "EXP Maths," whiteboards aid concentration, increase interaction and motivate teachers and pupils. They are an involved and dynamic approach to learning and make the learning experience fun and educational.

3. Allows Students with Various Disabilities to Learn Better

Each student in a class enjoys learning in different ways. While some are good auditory learners(able to learn better with audio), others are great visual learners. So including text, images, audio and video in a presentation allows everyone, including those with learning disabilities, to enjoy the lesson. Another benefit of using interactive whiteboard in the classroom is that it helps students with hearing impairment to benefit from visual presentation. Those unable to see partially or completely can also learn more about a given topic using audio presentation. Hence the use of interactive whiteboards ensures the learning needs of every student are met sufficiently.

4.Cost Effective

Whiteboards are cost effective, inexpensive and have low running costs.As of September 2010, plain white boards measuring 36 inches in length and 48 inches in width cost between $45 and $50, according to Office Depot. Erasers cost between $3 and $8 and dry-erase markers cost between $2 and $10 each. Whiteboards cost less than constantly using and discarding flip-charts and making multiple worksheets.

The benefits of interactive whiteboards in the classroom are so many that any learning institution can't afford to ignore. Apart from bringing convenience and flexibility in education, use of interactive whiteboards increases teacher-student engagement and boost performance in the long run. 

Interactive whiteboards - a board connected to a computer or projector with a display that can be manipulated by a mouse, stylus, or touch screen - have been slowly replacing traditional blackboards in classrooms across the nation. While many educators tout whiteboards as powerful and necessary tools that should be in every classroom, others continue use of the traditional blackboard.

In this article, we will talk about the latest interactive whiteboards vs. Traditional blackboards to help better understand the differences between them.

1. More Convenient for teachers to prepare and teach courseware

In traditional black board method, teacher has to spend time during the class to draw the visual material. While in latest technology interactive whiteboards, teachers can directly pick different subject materials from the software set for interactive whiteboard.

2. Better interaction and collaboration

The best interactive whiteboard solutions make collaboration among classroom stakeholders simpler than ever before. They allow annotations, manipulation of content, surveys, connection through smartphones and so much more. Collaborative activities have led to spikes in student interest in just about every research case study.

A traditional blackboard limits collaboration as only one individual can realistically use the board effectively at any given time. It is also difficult to make annotations or add new content without wiping off the old content. A blackboard or static whiteboard can be a very good basic sketch pad, but without the ability to share information, and really interact with the content, it falls far short of an interactive whiteboard. 

3. Better display of student projects

In traditional blackboards, the only way for student presentation is their paper-based homework or write on the blackboards in class. While in latest technology interactive whiteboards, students can directly use tablet to send their homework or write on their tablet to send to teacher, and both the teacher and the students can see the presentation on the screen conveniently. 

These are just a few examples of how interactive whiteboards are revolutionizing the learning experience across the world. Schools, Colleges and Universities are increasingly turning to new technology to facilitate learning, and tap into the power of new media information. It seems likely that it is only a matter of time before interactive whiteboards become the norm in all teaching environments.

Interactive tablets are revolutionizing the way we teach, train and present. Interactive technology enables you to present and capture all content of a training or teaching session in real time. The interactive touch screen can be connected to a PC, laptop or Mac and display your presentation on a 55", 65", 75", 85", 86 or 98" LCD or LED panel. Your audience will be captivated as you open apps, browse the web, type information using the virtual keyboard, add comments on top of displayed information, or use existing interactive whiteboard software.

Interactive whiteboards have brought significant improvements in the education sector by simplifying the learning processes. The technology has been integrated in all levels of learning including primary school, high school and institutions of higher learning. Though the technology has been around for more than two decades, its use has only grown exponentially over the past few years. An interactive whiteboard can be in the form of a standalone touchscreen computer or a connectable apparatus with touchpad used to control other computers from a projector. The benefits of using interactive whiteboards in the classroom affect both the students and teachers positively. 

Five benefits of interactive whiteboards in the classroom are as follows:

1) INTERACTIVE LEARNING

Interactive whiteboards allow children to interact with the learning material. They become a part of the lesson and can even teach each other. Their understanding of the subject is seen through touching, drawing, or writing on the board. Educational games can be played by entire classrooms. They also provide immediate feedback, so students and teachers can easily assess student progress.  

2) MAKES THE LEARNING PROCESS MORE FUN

Teachers in learning institutions are using LCD monitors displays together with shared whiteboards to deliver lessons. With such technology in class, every student will be anxious to try out how the board works. That can spur the students'enthusiasm to get involved in learning process using the interactive whiteboards.

3) EASY TO USE

Interactive whiteboards are clean and require very low maintenance. No chalk or markers or other writing utensils needed. Data is modified using a specialized pen for highlighting, drawing, and writing. Therefore there is no mess. No cleanup. It’s just that easy.

4) PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS

Students are more attentive in the classroom. Comprehension improves. Test scores rise. Literacy increases. Students learn better and remember it. When children engage more in the classroom, learning always increases.

5) MAKE LESSON REVIEW AND REVISION MORE CONVENIENT 

One of the greatest benefits of using interactive whiteboards in the classroom is that it allows students to save lessons for later playback and/or review. Students can also record full lessons and share them with friends who weren't able to attend classes. Recorded lessons also provide a more convenient reference point during revision, which makes grasping important points quite easier. 

All together, interactive whiteboard learning environments have a direct effect on learning and even on growing as a person. An effect that differs and can’t be achieved as easy whilst using traditional education materials. Therefore, it is no wonder the ed-tech business is increasing and schools desire more and more to create multimedia learning environments for their students.
