Choose Interactive Whiteboard ----- Does your have these features?

Gone are the days when you had to put “do not touch” signs on whiteboards to preserve what is written, or even resort to taking photos of its contents just to keep a record. Nowadays, there are Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) that allow you to write, share, and save your notes. You can easily annotate, and your notes will be mirrored on connected devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It can also work the other way around, where you write or draw on connected devices and then have it mirrored on the IWB in real time.

An Interactive Whiteboard allows for effective collaboration between the entire team. It opens many possibilities for presenting and conveying information to an audience. But with so many types available in the market today, it might be daunting to choose the right one for your organization.
