An interactive whiteboard is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is mounted to a wall.Interactive whiteboards is used as a replacement for traditional whiteboards or flipcharts. They provide ways to show students anything that can be presented on a computer's desktop (educational software, web sites, and others). Projectors, which are used with the interactive whiteboards, can also be connected to a video recorder or a DVD player, or users can connect to a school network digital video distribution system.This is the ultimate step in modern pedagogy. This is an effective instructional tool for students who are hyper active and are captivated by visual images. It is helpful in making classroom teaching interesting and leaves an indelible print on the students mind.A weekly scheduled is prepared for each class to learn a lesson through digital board. Teachers plan special modules for the special classes.
