How a Whiteboard works.
Do you know how a whiteboard works well today I am going to talk to you about how it does work.
The whiteboard is like paper but it can take whiteboard pens and if you make a mistake than you can rub it out straight away. An interactive whiteboard is a piece of hardware that looks much like a standard whiteboard but it connects to a computer and a projector in the classroom to make a very powerful tool. When connected, the interactive whiteboard becomes a giant, touch-sensitive version of the computer screen.
Here are some facts about whiteboards.
- Who invented the whiteboard? Well Albert stallion invented it.
- The first whiteboards were expensive and were made of enamelled steel. Cheaper versions were then produced, including laminated chipboard, high-pressure laminates and steel boards with a white, usually polyester or acrylic, coating.
- Whiteboards became commercially available in the early 1960s, but did not become widely used until 30 years later. Early whiteboards needed to be wiped with a damp cloth and markers had a tendency to leave marks behind, even after erasing the board. Dry-erase markers for whiteboards were invented in 1975.
Finally I have come to my conclusion, I hope you have learnt something new about whiteboards and don't use a vivid on a whiteboard!
