Integrated CPU 1) Introduction to Interactive White Board 1.1 Interactive White Board (IWB) An IWB is a piece of apparatus that allows people to see and work a computer on a large scale (on a huge screen) by the touch of a pen or finger. Objects can be moved around very easily and software can be controlled as though you were using a mouse. You can also write over (annotate) anything on your screen. This allows a teacher to create a science lesson that is presentational, participational and finally interactive.
