Whiteboard users can use a finger or a special
electronic "marker" to interact with the information displayed
on the screen. Thus, brainstorming "doodles" can be saved for
later review. Math and science students can graph and display
problems in the meeting that are difficult for presentation
purposes using electronic interactive whiteboards.
Teachers can also benefit from electronic whiteboards in front
of the class when saving the information on the board by
pressing a button or printing them and distribute it for the
class. That's how simple and effective a Panasonic
whiteboard or Plus whiteboards can be. The
electronic
whiteboards versions, however, have
capabilities far beyond those of their low-tech predecessors; in
addition to simply displaying information, they also allow
teachers to save what they have written or drawn and send it to
students' computers; to navigate computer files and Web sites;
and to interact with online information with a touch of the
finger.
