Using Interactive Whiteboards and Displays in Adult Education

Description

An interactive whiteboard, also known as a smart board, is a large interactive display board connected to a computer (laptop, tablet, desktop, etc.) Some smart boards are even all-in-one devices - the computer is contained within the board.

Depending on the device, system, and setup, interactive boards and displays allow interaction through touch, keyboard, special pens, as well as hand-off to another device.

Some boards even require proprietary software installed on external desktops or laptops where images are projected from the device to the interactive displays.

This session can be scheduled to cover most smartboards used by an agency as an in person, 3 hour workshop only.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

• Connecting to the board,
• Menu items and tools,
• Creating content,
• Accessing content, including from the Internet,
• Ideas for activities during class,
• Simple troubleshooting, and more as time allows or is requested.

IMPORTANT:
Only in-person workshops are available for this session. Due to the varied brands and types of interactive boards, a request for this session must be received at least one month before the workshop date. Practice time, the day before the workshop, may also be requested and/or required so that the trainer may become fully familiar with the equipment.
