Interactive white boards and projectors have the capability of increasing the way your teachers can teach and your students can learn. An interactive whiteboard allows you to project lessons onto the screen, use interactive lessons for students to have fun participation, attach a document camera to show your students anything you can fit underneath of it, and many more.
Teachers no longer have to print out all of the visuals that they want to share. Now they are able to show any picture or slide show on their computer straight to the Interactive Display whiteboard with an interactive whiteboard and projector. This will save paper in almost every classroom setting as well as no longer relying on students to have to keep track of all the papers they are given.
The most interesting aspect of the interactive white boards is that it gets the students involved. Students are now able to do math, science and all subjects and have it interact with them in a fun and interesting manner. Lessons are normally included with the whiteboard so teachers spend less time creating documents as well. The leaders in the interactive whiteboard also include how-to-dos on their website to show step by step guides on how to get the most out of their interactive whiteboard.
All interactive whiteboards have the ability to be connected to a document camera. The document camera will project anything underneath it onto the projector. Teachers can use this for students to follow along in a book or to show how to work out a math problem. The cameras have a zoom option as well to enlarge anything needed. There is also a simple auto focus so there are no issues when it comes to being able to see things clearly.
While infrared interactive whiteboards work wonderfully as a portal of attention and engagement during whole class lessons, they can also be used as a learning station or center. For younger students they can be set up for small group practice or extension activities while older students can be given more autonomy to take their small group work to the next level. As students are empowered by technology they will build a wealth of academic and life skills.
