Use of Interactive White Boards
The IWB is a technology made up of a computer connected to
both a projector and a touch-sensitive board that presents the pictures projected from the computer, allows for changes, and receives input electronically or by touch.
The software for the IWBs allows a range of activities, including those that can be used without the use of the IWB as well as activities unique to this technology. For example:
Drag and drop: an item on the board that can move in various directions.
Hide and reveal: an item located on top of others can be removed.
Highlighting: a clear color that can be placed on top of writing.
