What can I do with an interactive whiteboard?

The board can be utilized on several different levels. At its simplest level, the interactive whiteboard can be used as a traditional whiteboard. When using any interactive whiteboard as a traditional whiteboard you should only use 'dry erase markers'.

Combining the interactive whiteboard with a projector and computer you effectively get a massive touch screen monitor.
By touching and interacting with the whiteboard you are controlling the attached computer just the same as if you were sitting in front of the monitor at your computer. Using the pens on the SMART Board or software on other boards you can effectively draw virtual ink over your screen and any applications to either erase or to capture for later, annotating over your screen at any time is a very valuable feature.
