Difference between smartboard and interactive whiteboard
Answers
A Smart Board is technology created by SMART Technologies. It is an interactive projection display that projects the computers video output. A Smart Board operates with the combination of the interactive whiteboard, a computer, a projector, and a Smart Board software. The projection screen is available as a white board or as a display frame that fits over a plasma screen. The board can either be mounted or portable. The device is touch screen that allows the operator to manipulate content with the touch of a finger. Functions on the Smart Board such as scrolling and mouse click works the same way as it would on a computer. The Smart Board typically comes with four digital markers: red, blue, black, and green, and one digital eraser. The markers and eraser are housed in the pen tray. The markers work digitally, and do not actually contain any ink. The technology is in the pen tray; when a pen or the eraser is removed the optic sensors detect its absence. A touch from the pen, a finger, or any other object will then appear in that color of pen removed from the tray. Below the pen tray are two buttons. One button is used like a right click on the computer for functions such as; copy, paste, select all, etc. The other button brings up a traditional key board, displayed on the screen that by touch can be used. Only one finger can be on the board at once though, so you cannot rest your hand on the board with your fingers on the home row as you would on a computer. The computer and board work hand-in-hand together. When something is done on the computer, it appears on the Smart Board and vice-versa. Smart Board Software is needed for your computer to use to actually connect your computer to the Smart Board. The software is called Smart Notebook and is suitable for both Windows and Mac operating systems. Smart Notebook is a content delivery platform and is similar to PowerPoint. It includes animations, templates, manipulatives, and other useful tools for creating lesson plans and presentations. SMART Technologies has several other software programs that work with a Smart Board for specific content areas.
An interactive whiteboard is an instructional tool that allows computer images to be displayed onto a board using a digital projector. The instructor can then manipulate the elements on the board by using his finger as a mouse, directly on the screen.
