An interactive whiteboard is an electronic device that combines the functions of a monitor, presentation display, and whiteboard. There are several types of interactive whiteboards, each of which is designed to perform specific tasks.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many options to consider when choosing your interactive whiteboard. Start with the simplest thing - choosing the size of your interactive whiteboard. If you do not plan to install the board in relatively large rooms, then its width should not exceed 200 cm. Please note that for normal perception of information from the board, its width should be more than 170 cm.
Step 2
It is better to select the height of the board for a specific user. Typically, these interactive whiteboards are installed 70-80 cm above the floor. If the height of the equipment is more than 100 cm, then it will be very difficult to use its upper area. One meter is the recommended board height.
Step 3
Select the work surface (coating) of your interactive whiteboard. The enamel coating has the best performance. This type is very easy to use and relatively durable, which is an important factor in the operation of such a device. If you want to save some money, consider purchasing an interactive whiteboard with a plastic surface. The coating made of polymer materials is the cheapest, but it requires very careful operation. It is better not to use it in public places.
Step 4
Determine your interactive whiteboard capabilities. In this case, we mean a set of tools and improvised means that can be used to enter information. The best option is boards with a resistive matrix. You can use your finger or any other object to work with them. Boards with this type of matrix are usually relatively expensive.
Step 5
Using an ultrasonic marker will force you to periodically replace the nibs. To operate markers with a built-in camera, you need to periodically replace the batteries. This is one of the best options. Induction markers are best used. They do not require replacement of individual elements, and boards that work with this type of input device are relatively cheap.
