POST # 11: The digital whiteboard. POST


The school now has a number of resources that society provides for an improvement in the quality of teaching and learning. Educate not only students but also teachers and even parents can use this technology.

The whiteboard definition (PD) refers to the technological resources of a computer and a projector on the teaching-learning processes that develop in our classrooms. is, we combine the use of computer resources and multimedia resources through presentations on a large screen.

functionality of whiteboards is projected onto a screen located in a classroom relevant information from any computer, Internet or other digital or analog device connected to the system: satellite television, video projector, video camera, etc..

In classrooms that have digital whiteboard, teachers and students are always at your disposal the ability to view and discuss collectively all information that can provide Internet and television and any other available to in any format including multimedia presentations and digital disk documents (notes, class work ...), videos, documents (which can be captured with a webcam, etc.). The availability of all kinds of information and joint display in the classroom facilitates the development of cooperative work by groups of students and the public presentation to the class.

addition, with the help of a text editor can be screened any information you type on the keyboard (definitions, schemas, transactions ...) as you would write on a whiteboard, but with many advantages not having to use chalk, possibility to use more letters and colors, touch and move text, stored on your disk and use it at a later meeting or send e-mail to a student who could not attend, print ...

basic elements that constitute whiteboard are:

  • A multimedia computer (need not be a next-generation computer) with DVD speakers and microphone. A. Keyboard and wireless mouse can facilitate the participation of students from their own desk (though more expensive, give better benefits bluetooth wireless systems, infrared systems).
  • A computer connection high-speed Internet (ADSL, cable).
  • A projector (projection electron gun, at least 1,500 lumens and 1024x768 resolution XVGA), located preferably on the roof, and powered with a remote control "with few buttons and simple to use." As we have a power switch on the wall would suffice:
  1. button "at rest" (stand by), on or off the lamp (the weakest element of the system and expensive)
  2. buttons + / - Focus
  3. toggle button to input images from the computer or video image input (some teams have no need for automatic detection of input)
  • A whiteboard or screen (which may be just a white wall). whiteboard is preferred because it allows annotation of images and texts that are being projected.

Other elements that are often integrated and that increase its functionality:

  • A small webcam, which will allow any video and also to project directly or scan photos, articles or short sequences (can replace the overhead projector and opascopio).
  • A document reader that lets you watch and scan any document or object in three-dimensional view your camera (very useful ).


"Given the document reader can be projected immediately postcards, pictures and news clippings, pictures and diagrams of textbooks, the exercises that students have done in their notebooks ... is no longer necessary to "rewrite" on the blackboard for his public correction. "


  • A inkjet printer ink color.
  • A desktop scanner.
  • An amplification system sound, with powerful speakers.
  • A computer connection to a television antenna conventional, cable or satellite.
- A simple recorder, enabling the educational use of video and television recordings.

turn, would like to mention some other expressions or definitions within the world of the whiteboard, three key ONCEPTS c :

  • digital whiteboard f. (Tecno.) technological system, usually composed of a computer and a projector, to project digital content in a format suitable for group viewing. It is possible to interact with projected images using computer peripherals: mouse, keyboard ...
  • interactive whiteboard: f. (Tecno.) technological system, usually consisting of a computer, a projector and a cursor control device, which allows projection on a surface interactive digital content in a format suitable for display group. You can interact directly on the projection surface.
  • Digital Ink: are programs that allow you to annotate over any screen you're viewing on your computer, and guard in the disc image from the screen with the annotations.




advise taking a look at the offer diverse, which we are made from digital Edebé We can see what we are offered according to levels and specific areas, covering from child to school. In the link provided above and in the innumerable list of potential, we also find options for all tastes and interests, introduced just a matter of a little in each one of them.

"If we recommended before visiting the page corresponding to" supplement "Classroom of the World", to head a section of resources, we also refer to the same virtual space. We will refer to a recent article (http://aula.elmundo.es/aula/noticia.php/2005/12/12/aula1133546787.html) , it sure opens up the interest to visit the link mentioned in it. Thus access to space on the network Santillana, we discover an interesting new world, all constantly evolving.

point out the possibility of providing three links, those known as virtual encyclopedias , teaching them the appropriate documentation may seek to complement all those ideas you have in your head and you need a small contribution to be carried out, this application can not find or read the document necessary for any exhibition.

is recommended to visit three directions, among many options. A Virtual Encyclopedia of Educational Technology , I think fairly comprehensive and enriching. for those who want to deepen the field of teaching, nothing better to start with. Wiki Didactics and School Organization , where thanks to the contribution of partners from all sectors of education, we can enjoy constantly updated documents and permanent interest. Finally a real estate links and resources at hand for all interested in bringing to reality the theories that have always raised.

Virtuality and collaboration come together in the last recommendation: an encyclopedia collaborative continuously updated, another feature of the use of the network as a means of communication.
If after taking a look at the various links proposed, we are eager to get down to work and try to make our first designs, would not hurt to take a walk the following directions, they can find both resources and made , we serve as templates to aid in classifying our work. Although they appear in English, design and the ability to download, make them attractive for all teachers and their ideas.

First a direction from which we obtain a series of help to make our presentations in Power Point: templates for presentations. Sure we are helpful and motivating for new ones. Resources, presentations and templates can also be obtained if we access the page you recommended below.
