How Does the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Work?

The SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard is touch sensitive and operates as part of a system that includes
a computer and a projector.
• The computer sends an image of an application to the projector.
• The projector casts the image onto the interactive whiteboard.
• The interactive whiteboard acts as both the monitor and input device, allowing you to control an
application by simply touching the interactive whiteboard.
It may help you to think of your interactive whiteboard the same way you think of your mouse or keyboard
– it is an input device that enables you to control applications on your computer.
