Smart Teaching Platform: Digital Interactive Whiteboard

With the development of information technology and the gradual deepening of the new curriculum reform, digital interactive whiteboards have been widely used in education and teaching. Their effective integration with classroom teaching greatly stimulates students' interest, optimizes the teaching process, enhances teaching effects, and consequently improves teaching quality.

Main Functions of Digital Interactive Whiteboards

Content Display Function Replacing Projection Screens

The size of a digital interactive whiteboard is generally similar to that of a blackboard or a regular projector screen, and the board surface is made of high-brightness, low-reflectivity materials. Digital interactive whiteboards serve as projection screens for projectors, enabling the playback of computer videos, PPTs, images, and more.

Regular Whiteboard Function

The regular whiteboard function does not require the use of a projector and computer, possessing all the attributes and functions of a regular whiteboard. Using the four complementary colored pens (red, blue, green, black) and the board eraser, one can write, draw, and create tables on the digital interactive whiteboard just like on a regular whiteboard. When needing to modify notes, simply use the included physical eraser to wipe it off. The board surface is made of high-grade wear-resistant materials, ensuring smooth writing without wrinkles or scratches.

Interactive Control Function

When the digital interactive whiteboard is used in conjunction with a computer and projector, the screen and the sensor pen become an easy-to-use touch screen, virtual keyboard, and mouse, allowing for real-time interactive control operations with the computer. For instance, inputting text and numbers using a virtual keyboard, and using the interactive whiteboard pen as a mouse to perform clicks, double-clicks, right-clicks, dragging, dropping, moving, and other controls.

Recording and Storage Function

When writing, drawing, modifying, erasing, and annotating directly on the digital interactive whiteboard with the sensor pen, all content on the board can be synchronously displayed and stored on the computer for future use. Additionally, the included electronic eraser can be used to erase notes. After class, the saved board content on the computer can be printed out and distributed to students, thereby reducing their note-taking burden.

Resource Library Function

The application software of digital interactive whiteboards generally features a powerful resource library function with rich content that can be added or deleted at will. This increases the amount of classroom information and overcomes the issue of highly fixed structures in teaching materials when using courseware and slide presentations in a multimedia projection system environment.

Composition of the Digital Interactive Whiteboard System

The digital interactive whiteboard system is mainly composed of hardware and software parts. Hardware includes the electronic whiteboard, computer, and projection equipment, as well as other external auxiliary devices (such as digital whiteboard pen, voting devices, wireless writing boards, etc.). The software mainly consists of courseware tailored for different teaching environments and requirements. The digital interactive whiteboard is a media combination that features a large interactive panel display interface, with computer software and hardware at its core.

In summary, digital interactive whiteboards are widely used in smart education platforms, significantly reducing the time teachers spend writing and drawing. Rich graphical and animation resources greatly expand the presentation of training content, enhancing interactive effects, reinforcing students' intuitive perceptions and impressions, and improving teaching outcomes. The use of digital interactive whiteboards is of great significance for enhancing teaching effectiveness and accumulating teaching resources.
