| A computer is normally controlled
by a mouse, however, with an interactive whiteboard
you can touch the board to control the mouse cursor
instead. As you move your finger across the whiteboard,
displaying the computer image, the mouse cursor
follows. You simply tap the screen twice with your
finger to perform the normal double-click as you
would do with your mouse. This is advantageous as
you can control all the computer actions from the
front of the class or meeting room. You can also
write or draw on the whiteboard with your finger
or the pens provided and save the image to the computer.
These images, which are your notes from the meeting
or training session, can then be printed or emailed.
The software included with some interactive whiteboards
also has built in Optical Character Recognition,
which means can write on the screen and the compute
will recognize your hand writing and turn it into
computer text. |
