Can I use another company’s software with my IWB?

Vosa iBoard

I met the salesman for the Vosa iBoard at the CESI conference and I ended up speaking with him for about 45 minutes.  This guy was really really passionate about his IWB and he spent most of this time trying to convince me that his product was the greatest IWB in the world.  He believed … Read more

Should I get a Pen-Based or Touch-based IWB?

Interactive Whiteboards come in different shapes, sizes and colours.  Each comes with its own software, most of which is dreadful, requiring you to buy a 3rd party solution.  However, how one interacts with the board in question, cannot be changed.  You have two choices – should you get an IWB that allows you to use … Read more

Promethean Interactive Whiteboard

Promethean shook the world of Interactive Whiteboards a few weeks back with two announcements.  The first was the launch of their €2,500 IWB, available from their resellers.  The second was their release of ActivStudio, the software, for use on any IWB.  This review focuses on all Promethean IWBs, which have seen further price cuts.

CleverBoard 3 Interactive Whiteboard

Cleverboards have been around for ages and anyone collecting Tesco computer tokens may have dreamed of saving several million of them to get one of these boards but they haven’t had the same impact in Irish schools as Promethean or Smart have.  I, in my ignorance, thought they had gracefully died and went away.  However, … Read more

Smart ST20 Interactive Whiteboard

This is the latest in Smart’s top of the range products in Interactive Whiteboards. Its big selling point is not the board itself – as that hasn’t changed – it’s the projector. The projector has changed. It’s now a fancy Toshiba projector with brilliant true-colours ensuring more vivid images…or some sales speak like that. So … Read more

TouchIT Interactive Whiteboard

I finally got my finger(!) on the TouchIT Interactive Whiteboard at the IPPN conference. For those of you who have been reading this blog, you’ll have noticed I’ve been waiting a couple of weeks to see this new and interesting development.
