An Interactive Whiteboard or IWB is a digital device capable of interacting with a computer and projecting images on a screen. This device is used for visual presentation in classrooms, workgroups and business meetings. An interactive whiteboard needs to be connected to a computer which generates the actual images or data which is then projected to the board. Most interactive whiteboards have keyboard and mouse functionalities, but some models are capable of whiteboarding functions like character recognition so notes can be written or recorded on the physical board itself.

I have been lucky enough to be placed in a classroom which used this technology. I found it to be very engaging and interactive for all students as there is such a large range of learning activities that can be performed on the IWB. However, I do believe that it all depends on the teacher and how well they use this resource in their classroom.
