ABSTRACT
Interactive whiteboards (sometime known as ‘Smartboards’) are whiteboards that are wired electronically and can be connected to a laptop. They enable teachers to prepare all their lessons on a laptop, plug their laptop into the projector in the teaching room and work through the lesson on the whiteboard. It also means that teachers when designing their lessons can integrate video clips and sound whenever they feel it is appropriate. It brings presentations alive. It is also a great time saver during the lesson as the teacher can use, for example, grids, graphs and maps more easily with a whole class, and can manipulate and change data on-screen.
