The first interactive whiteboard was developed by Canadian company SMART Technologies in 1991. Interactive whiteboards allow teachers and students to display and interact with computer content using their hands or specialized pens. They make lessons more engaging and convenient by allowing teachers to easily structure lessons and incorporate multimedia elements like videos and images. However, they do have some disadvantages such as high costs, training requirements, and potential eye strain or sound issues.
