A Smartboard is an interactive whiteboard in which a touch on the screen is translated into imagery onto a projection on the whiteboard. Through special software, users can navigate through websites, draw on projections, and highlight text. Smartboards can be integrated with other technologies such as document cameras and iPads or tablets.
