Many kindergarten schools are facing the problem of sleepy students losing interest in subjects that are otherwise fun and engaging. Teachers are looking for a more quick and effective teaching tool that will save time as well as add more dynamism to teaching. In this respect interactive whiteboard are the next generation in teaching tool technology. With touch sensitive screens that will greatly enhance interactivity with your students and the lessons they are taught, electronic whiteboards are injecting a new lease of life into teaching.
The specialty of an interactive whiteboard is that it has eliminated the viability of whiteboards and blackboards. You can connect your computer to an electronic whiteboard and then display it through the electronic white board. This will allow you to use the vast amount of information available on the internet, including displaying educational videos, sound, digital maps, dynamic text and images and different animations that will generate an immense amount of interest in students making them curious and eager to learn more about the subject being taught.
Along with variety to display information, students will be able to actively participate in the class by giving the chance to students write on the interactive whiteboard. Its screen is made up of a touch sensitive material that generates an electrical signal whenever pressure is applied on the screen. If the pointer mode is selected then the pointer moves across, if drawing mode is selected, then you can digitally draw on the screen, very similar to tablet PCs.
The big difference that will be seen by using electronic whiteboards is that teachers will no longer have to waste time pasting diagrams, maps and other visual aids. They can just prepare their work on any presentation software and use the interactive whiteboard's USB connectivity to connect to a computer and from there teachers, can present their work. Teachers will also be able to instantly share their lectures and notes with the class either by placing it on a file sharing server, emailing them or even printing them (attached printers are available on some models of electronic whiteboards). Software that comes packaged with the electronic white boards helps teachers organize their work by allowing easy accessibility to files, website URL's and shortcuts to files on the local hard drive. They even comprise of a drawing tool that magnifies images and write text on them. This comes in useful when displaying maps and when you have to magnify in on the small areas of the map.
Interactive whiteboards are also great for business meetings, workshops, seminars and conferences. This allows for much more interactivity in the sense that presenters aren't restricted to just their presentation material (sales and financial reports, business projections, etc) that they have already prepared beforehand. The widescreen electronic whiteboard provides ample space for expression and in some models of electronic whiteboards; attached stereo speakers add more feeling and increases overall interactivity with the audience in question (students and employees in a business).
