BACKGROUND INFORMATION
What is a data projector?
A data projector connects to the monitor socket of any computer and projects the computer’s image onto a screen or an interactive whiteboard.
What is an interactive whiteboard?
An interactive whiteboard is similar to a regular whiteboard, but is sensitive to touch, either by hand or with an electronic pen called a ‘stylus’, and connects to a computer.
Used in conjunction with a data projector, the interactive whiteboard allows the user to control the software on the screen by touching the screen instead of using the mouse.
Why use an interactive whiteboard?
As well as having all the benefits of whole-class presentation, an interactive whiteboard has a range of functions to enhance teaching and learning such as:
displaying the computer screen to a whole class without the need for individual computers;
enabling the whole class to engage in interactive computer-based activities;
enabling the teacher to search for and display websites for the whole class to see;
allowing teacher/pupils to write over the top of the screen to highlight and annotate points;
converting whatever you write on the board into word-processed text that can be saved, stored, printed and shared.
All interactive whiteboards come with software, to enable you to use it as a copy board. You can write or draw on the whiteboard with your finger or the pens provided and save the image or text to the computer. These images can then be printed, saved or emailed.
Interactive Projector Board
Most interactive whiteboard software also has built-in ‘Optical Character Recognition’ (OCR). OCR converts handwriting on the whiteboard into word-processed text. The specific features available to you may vary, depending on the interactive whiteboard and software used.
