Interactive Whiteboards in Education

Portsmouth Communications supply and install Interactive Whiteboards from Smart Technologies, Hitachi and Promethean into schools, colleges and organisations of all sizes including the NHS and Defense sectors.

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, stylus, or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand.

They are used in a variety of settings, including classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms,  training rooms and for professional sports coaching, in broadcasting studios and others.
