Interactive whiteboards can take your presentations, lessons, and training sessions to an entirely new and exciting level. With interactive whiteboards as your new high-tech assistant, your staff or classroom will retain more information, maintain interest longer, and get more enjoyment from the presentation.
Getting Started
If you're nervous about deploying interactive whiteboards for your business or school, you shouldn't be. Interactive whiteboards are easy and fun to learn and use.
Here are a few useful tips to help you get started on the right foot.
1. Don't try everything at once.
One of the great things about your new interactive whiteboard is that you don't need to be an expert user to get started. Plan to learn as you go, and don't try to use every feature at first.
2. Learn to use the pen and eraser.
Practice with the pen and eraser, so you know what the expect to first time you use them in a meeting or classroom setting. Remember that there's no limit to the available pages—just go to the next page if you run out of room. It's better to use a larger hand than you normally would, and take things a little more slowly. The eraser will allow you to rub out your mistakes.
3. Learn to use the selection tool.
The selection tool allows you to interact with objects on the page. Move things around, change the size, rotate, or stretch.
4. Learn to add typewritten text.
You don't have to handwrite everything with the interactive pen. You can type in text and even use conventional formatting tools. Copy and paste is also an available feature.
5. Learn to use shapes.
You can use the included shapes to make your presentations and lessons more engaging. Create Venn diagrams, tables, graphs, speech bubbles and more.
