Interactive whiteboards are a far cry from the traditional whiteboards once used in every classroom. The many advantages that come from having the board connected to a laptop or tablet is now you can save, reuse and edit etc all of the meeting/classroom/business notes that you have written out. Having a computer connected now means all of the programs can be used,drawn on and accessed with the board to use in demonstrations in front of your audience.
