  interactive whiteboard.

  images, text, and lesson plans can be transferred
  onto the display board.

  models, the most recent of which have both
  multi-touch and multi-write features.

  in lessons at the same time.
• SMART Boards have also become invaluable
  resources for teachers.

  teachers in 175 different countries that use
