The SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard that allows you project your
presentation, write over the projection, save the changes, and create new
presentations. You can show videos, DVDs and link to the internet. It is an easy
tool to use requiring no special expertise.
Feature:
Advantage:
We find that it is not useful to use the whiteboard pens for writing because
It took longer to display some information on the whiteboard than it would
have on an ordinary board.
4. Expensive
5. Irrelevant information can distract students from learning.
6. Limited visual area.
7. Alignment issues if it gets moved or drifts over time.
You can use the SMART Board interactive whiteboard in a combined video and
data conference by splitting the screen into video and application images. Just
like picture-in-picture television, your video image sits in a window alongside your
data. You can brainstorm and diagram as if you were at a whiteboard and control
all your computer applications directly from the board's touch-sensitive surface,
while dedicating a portion of the board to displaying the video of your remote
team members.
There a lot of ways that can be use by smart board to deliver and support
learning:
some companies that produces traditional white board, monitors, screens and
LCDs for educational purposes (traditional and distance education) are worried
about the popularity and fast spread of interactive white board, which might
reduce some big institutions need of using their products therefore not buy them
and only use interactive white boards.
