Interactive Whiteboard or Simple Whiteboard in classrooms

An interactive whiteboard or IWB, is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.


A whiteboard (also known as a wipeboard, markerboard, dry-erase board, dry-wipe board or a pen-board, and also commonly mistaken as a greaseboard) is a name for any glossy surface, most commonly colored white, where non-permanent markings can be made. Whiteboards operate analogously to chalkboards in that they allow markings to temporarily adhere to the surface of the board. The popularity of whiteboards increased rapidly in the mid-1980s and they have become a fixture in many offices, meeting rooms, school classrooms, and other work environments.<sup>[1]
