Interactive whiteboards

Someone has suggested we install an interactive whiteboard in our training room. What are the benefits?

Your business can use the whiteboard to

  • Run PowerPoint presentations
  • Allow a group of people to look at one document on a large screen and edit
  • Brainstorm – to write things onto the notepad part of the whiteboard software
  • Replace flipcharts – write notes, add pages, then print and / or email to the group
  • Training using flipchart, powerpoint and internet all on the same screen

Tips

  • Make sure you have a network connection so that your whiteboard can connect to a printer and the internet
  • Whiteboards need to be connected to a PC or laptop
  • Buy a newer model (e.g. SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system) as the software is better, the screens are much brighter
  • Buy the speakers too – it’s great seeing a presentation with sound as well as vision!
