Interactive whiteboards allow you to interact with your computer presentation right at the screen - much like you interact with a blackboard/whiteboard. The district currently has two options for interactive whiteboards:
- SmartBoard - interactive touch board that is mounted to the wall.
- Wiimote Whiteboard - allows you to create an interactive whiteboard on any surface using an inexpensive Wii Remote. You can use SmartBoard software with Wiimote Whiteboard.
