solutions, which consists of an electronic interactive board, a
multi-media projector, a laptop and software's.
Mrs. Akinbode, the Executive Director of GreeCircle Network Africa, and
a master's degree holder in University of Ibadan has this to say of
"the Interactive whiteboard is an electronic board that has the
capacity to instantly store what is written on the board and also has a
recorder that can record all what is being said by the facilitator.
According to her the system is made by HITACHI International, Japan, some of the features of the STAR BOARD include:
* It can store over 200 slides of classroom presentation and record all that is taught in the classroom.
*It is fully tropicalised and has a five year warrantee
*It does not need direct/electrification power supply
*It is rugged and very durable, with hard surface that cannot be easily damaged.
*The starboard is waterproof, scratch proof, and can withstand heat or poor handling.
*Easy assessment of internet from the board.
*And also serves as a basic writing white board.
The interactive white board utilizes the use of the stylus pen as its
input device. It is a dual purpose input device which acts as a pen and
also as a regular personal computer mouse.
The background color of the board is adjustable to any desired color.
While the board converts hand-drawn shapes to perfect geometrical
shapes. The board has over 80 command icons with which you can utilize
when in use. Some of these include. The clip-Art icon; on-screen
record icon; intelligent pen-icon; color-palette icon etc. because of
its multi-functional storing recording and unlimited utilities, the
interactive whiteboard I usually termed a "magicboard" by first users.
