SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Goes Wireless

By Closing the Gap, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 11-17
Publication Date: December 2002/January 2003

Article discussing a wireless option for the entire family of SMART Board interactive whiteboards. A data cable is no longer required between the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and the computer. Traditionally, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is connected to a computer using a serial or USB cable. The new wireless option eliminates the need for a cable between the interactive whiteboard and the computer, which simplifies installation considerably. Powered by SMART Board software, SMART Board interactive whiteboards enable users to control computer applications simply by pressing on the whiteboard's touch-sensitive surface. Users can write over top of any application using either their finger or a stylus, and then save, edit, and distribute these notes in a variety of file formats. Both special educators and general educators could benefit from this in the classroom.
