It may help you to think of the 
interactive white board the same 
way you think of the mouse or 
keyboard ‐ it is an input device 
that enables you to control and 
connect with the computer.

Interactive White boards 
The Smart Board is an
interactive white board
which operates as part of a
system that includes a
computer and a projector.
It is touch­sensitive, so you
don't really need its pens.
Promethean board is
another brand of
interactive white boards.
It requires a Promethean
pen to interact with it.
