IWBs are fast changing the way students learn and lessons have become more stimulating and interactive therefore encouraging learning. IWBs are available in two variations:
A short throw projector fitted with a sensor. A large LED touch display
The large LED touch display have become more popular than the short throw projectors as they are less affected by light Cheap Claudio Marchisio Jersey , they are more interactive via touch and don鈥檛 have lamp problems. Below are the benefits of LED touch display interactive whiteboards.
Improved student participation Whiteboards have been found to improve student participation more than traditional classroom boards. The interactive whiteboards allows students to answer questions, take votes from their seats and the results are displayed instantly. The whiteboards are touch enabled, therefore, teachers can tap to perform calculations Cheap Carlo Pinsoglio Jersey , reveal layers of information as well as allow the teacher to move information with the tip of a finger.
Ensures data preservation Information on IWBs is available via a connected computer which means that whatever is done on the board will be recorded directly to the hard drive and can even be copied to removable devices like flash disks.
Teachers are able to recall and reuse the information especially during a brainstorming session unlike traditional boards where it can be erased after being copied manually.
Promotes technology interaction IWBs allow students to have a chance of interacting with technology therefore interweaving it with their education. This comes in handy when the students are making their own presentation. Students will finally get to learn more about different devices and software.
Improved learning IWBs are connected via computers which in turn are connected to the internet. While there are students who absorb information efficiently via spoken word, others learn better via visual presentation. The whiteboards give learners an opportunity of absorbing information in multiple formats. This increases retention and synthesis of information.
Promotes collaboration IWBs are integrated in classrooms, therefore allowing students not only to become listeners but also participants. This allows the learners to become part of the learning process rather than just recipients of information.
Improves feedback During a lesson, students can provide immediate feedback via controls which can be used to ask or answer questions regarding material that is being taught. Teachers are able to identify areas of confusion Cheap Blank Jersey , therefore, providing answers quickly.

There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success Cheap Benedikt Howedes Jersey , these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.
However, no matter how good an idea, how good the selection process or how perfect the development and commercialisation of the product, sometimes all that is needed is time for the product to come into its own.
A good example is the electric car. In the early 20th century the electric car scored highly on measurements such technical superiority and environmental friendliness and in New York fleets of electric taxis carried passengers across the city. At the time the internal combustion engine was cranky and unreliable yet it eventually usurped it's rival (Franklin Cheap Andrea Barzagli Jersey , 2003). The prospect of diminishing and high oil prices and environmental concerns are resulting in the return of the electric car.
The time factor is one of the elements of the S-curve ? a model for determining the impediments that a product may face on its route to commercial success.
