Abby, created this document, for presentation in her CSC 103 course, and has shared it with some of you . This resource is important because it gives students the code, so that they can download the software at home, and prepare before entering the classroom. You may share the link.

SmartBoard Workshop
Presented by the SUNY Oswego School of Education
Definition from wikipedia.org – “An interactive whiteboard (IWB) is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand.”
There are a number of literature reviews, findings and papers on the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom and if improving student success can be documented (from wikipedia.org):
