The interactive whiteboard is a large, touch-sensitive display. Connected to a computer and projector, the interactive whiteboard is like a giant computer screen that students and teachers touch to operate. Using their finger or a pen as a mouse, teachers and students can access and control any computer application, file or multimedia platform including the internet, CDROMs and DVDs. They also can write over applications in digital ink, then save their work for future study and review. They engage students with diverse learning styles by providing both immediate accesses to a wide range of digital materials and a common focus for the entire class-not something easily achieved with other technologies. The software interface captures the imagination of students of all backgrounds and abilities and helps them learn together understand better and achieve more. This paper examines some of the features of the interactive whiteboards and the classroom applications. Key Words : Interactive Whiteboards, Touch Sensitive Display, Educational Technology, Electromagnetic Whiteboards, Resistive Membrane Whiteboards
