What+is+it?

An interactive whiteboard is a large touch-sensitive display that connects to a <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; msoasciifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msoasciithemefont: major-bidi; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msobidithemefont: major-bidi; msohansifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msohansithemefont: major-bidi; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; textunderline: none;">computer and digital 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 finger or pen take over from the mouse and control the pointer. Whatever is on the screen can be selected, highlighted, dragged, dropped, clicked and so on. They are commonly used in schools as replacements for traditional whiteboards, OHPs or flipcharts. Anything that can be presented on a computer’s desktop can be shown to students on the whiteboard. When it is used appropriately it can promote active involvement of learners in class discussion and in their own learning.
