Unlike an interactive whiteboard’s many moving parts, View is one, simple, stand-alone tool that doesn’t complicate the classroom. There has to be a better way to project on a board and write at the same time – which is why our product engineers spent three years imagining, designing, and developing View. The complexity of interactive whiteboards takes focus away from the students during class time – and that doesn’t even include the time teachers must dedicate to learning the software every time it updates.Īccording to recent research, the complicated technology of interactive whiteboards frustrates teachers so much, they end up reverting back to old technology like chalk or dry erase boards. Educators don’t need to fight with technology for the first 15 minutes of class, trying to get the mouse, pen, board, and projector to cooperate with their presentation. Why?Ĭontrary to popular belief, implementing interactive whiteboards in the classroom is actually extremely complicated and frustrating for teachers.
But today, very few teachers actually use the interactive white boards in their classrooms, leaving this obsolete technology as overpriced wall art – or at best, an overpriced whiteboard – never to be used for its intended purposes.
Over the last decade, thousands of schools across the United States paid billions of dollars to install interactive whiteboards in their classrooms.
