Interactive Whiteboard Demonstration

[@djazr]

I LOVE THOSE! i have them in like almost every classroom of my school and they're really fun to use.

[@numantunak]

I'm getting one on Friday! Thanks for the heads up on how to use it in the future!

[@Craigzoidz]

Another awesome product...which increases our electricity usage unnecessarily.

[@governapapp]

Thanks for the video. I have to do a presentation based on the smartboard and it is cool to see it first hand.

[@BACasey81]

these are more than awesome!!! Gotta get one for my class

[@sausagedogheaven]

One day, all four walls in the classroom will be interactive.

[@peaceriverphoto]

They just renovated my high school and they installed one of these in every class. So fun. Internet, videos, even games. Lol. Yeah my teachers are game nerds. lol. Seriously though, they're not as expesive as one would think. The project is about $1000, board is $1400. Not bad.

[@LrisD9020]

The questions are: Is there enough resources to invest on these Smart Boards? Are the teachers knowledgeable enough to use it (and if training is required, how long will it take)? How frequently will they be utilized? What are the pros and cons? And finally, and the most important question - Are they really necessary for the target situation? After looking at about 2-4 related video and their comments, it occurs to me the schools probably didn't have all these questions figured out beforehand.

[@Cassin123]

That has already happened, in a way. You can make any surface (table, wall, torso) interactive with a Wii remote and a digital projector (or just any laptop screen). To see an example: search for videos of "jonny lee wii" -- very amazing.

[@bakadazcha]

You should try to convince your school to invest in ultra short throw projectors for your IWBs. They eliminate the shadow you're casting on the board.

[@sausagedogheaven]

I work with dirt poor kids in Asia who don't have books or pencils. Our whiteboard is a window with white paper stuck on the outside so I can write on the window with a marker pen and they can all see it. I'm thinking of patenting the idea. :) The closest we get to it being interactive is when somebody opens the window!!! :)

[@XxCandyHeelsxX]

We have one in our classroom - im 10 years old its AWESOME you can also play games on it!!!

[@hossam4455]

I really wanna thank you for those informations

[@EdTheBadass]

hmm .. I am not well-informed about interactive whiteboards, but I am quite sure I have seen similar projects. One particular I remember seeing on discovery Science few years ago, having the same results they have here. So how is this project unique? Or is it just the same tech?

[@bakadazcha]

I have no problem writing on one... must be because I took the time to learn how to use it instead of instantly dismissing it.

[@MusicLuver8816]

these things are really cool!

[@livardo]

shit, I'd love this for my work. We're stuck with ol' projectors and powerpoint slides.

[@kuneckid05]

[@TheJuanHernandez]

[@TheWarcraft3WE]

Jeez man! Can you breath?

[@MenOfMischief]

lol

[@sausagedogheaven]

Yeah thanks, very helpful to the third world.

[@JungleBeats69]

What are the benefits of standing in front of the "whiteboard" and touching the screen, thus blocking the board's view from your students and getting the projection light in your eyes when you turn towards your class? This adds no real value over a "whiteboard" operated from a computer in the corner of the room somewhere. The only value I see here is probably the software, but you can accomplish these things with a browser and m.s. paint. Don't buy into technology all because it exists people.

[@trofet]

Omg my school hasnt any of theese, I think no schools in norway got it even toguh we are one of the richest country in the world and it only lives 4,7 million people here...... norwegian government dosn't spend any money on schools , buildings ,cleaning nothing they just put in their ass and say they are going to need it in the future :S

[@montgomify]

smart but not good and healthy to kindergarden chilrdren , and the childrens first 4 school years , it`s better to educate young children by haptic creative lessons , our languages and braincreativity is established with our hands and young children need to use their bodies to learn
