Interactive+whiteboards

There are many different Interactive Whiteboard providers but the two i am familiar with are the SMART board and the Activboard released by Promethean planet.

There are a wealth of resources for each of these two systems. Check out their websites to see the endless flipcharts and notebook lessons you can preview and download to use.

When looking at purchasing an IWB you need to look at all of you options as they are expensive pieces of equipment. This article explains the difference between a digital board (Activeboards) compared to analogue boards (Touch boards). There are pros and cons for both. Personally I prefer the digital board as I am an infants teacher and find that the the younger children have more control using the wand or the pen and secondly I often lean on the board when I write so on an analogue board I would have marks and lines EVERYWHERE! Check out this article and decide for yourself which you would prefer.
