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!
