Must know before buying an interactive Whiteboard

What is an Interactive whiteboard?

Let’s not mix a traditional whiteboard with an interactive whiteboard. First is an interactive whiteboard or projection surface onto which an image is projected via a projector attached to a computer. We must use the computer’s mouse or keyboard to interact with the content.

An interactive whiteboard has several things in common with a traditional whiteboard also has a projection to transfer the content from our computer, but here’s the good news, this type of whiteboard is touching sensitive! We can interact with the materials directly on the surface of the whiteboard.

Why use an interactive whiteboard?

More obvious advantages of interactive white is big measurement. Working on a much bigger surface than a standard computer screen enables students to interact with the materials in a much more immersive way, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They don’t need a mouse or a keyboard; they can use a pen, pointer, or fingers!

• More dynamic classes: Images, animated elements, videos, challenges, quizzes, teaching genially means providing authentic learning experiences and taking advantage of the power of digital, and the interactive whiteboard is the best way to do it. Let your class explore each genially, and all the interactive elements contained there.
• More motivated students: It could almost be said that today’s students were born with a smartphone, and it’s hardly surprising that the best way to reach them is to speak their language and use new technologies. It’s unbelievable how quickly they pick it all up.

Think of an interactive whiteboard like a giant smartphone, where they can touch and interact with a life-sized genially. They’ll be comfortable with the format and have no problem figuring it out. This confidence they have with the medium will carry through to help increase motivation and participation in class.

• More inclusive learning sessions: The bigger size of the interactive whiteboards means the materials can be seen easily. This is also where the possibilities for personalization in genially come into play, more significant elements, images, and illustrations that provide context, audio, and sounds to support the materials, etc.
• An extra dose of attention: By working directly with all the materials and multimedia resources in one place, we’ll maintain the class’s attention more effectively, ensuring it doesn’t get attached to other devices or tasks. Our Varito will be on display for the whole individual on the interactive whiteboard, allowing for group activities that don’t depend on other accessories or resources.
