THE USES OF AN INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD

An interactive whiteboard or IWB, is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.
They are used in a variety of settings such as in classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, broadcasting studios and more.



Uses for interactive whiteboards include:
Operating any software that is loaded onto the connected PC, including web browsers and proprietary software
Using software to capture notes written on a whiteboard or whiteboard-like surface
Controlling the PC (click and drag), markup (annotating a program or presentation) and translating cursive writing to text (not all whiteboards)
In some instances the Interactive Whiteboard may be provided with an integrated Audience Response System so presenters can carry out polls and quizzes and capture the feedback on the Interactive Whiteboard.

The time of lent for christians..

Lent is a fourty day liturgical season that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at the Great vigil of Easter. Sunday are not included in the fourty day count because every Sunday is a joyful celebration of Jesus's resurrection. Though not biblical, lent has been a tradition in the christian church, and it is thought that the tradition of the fourty days recalls the fourty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and being tempted by satan (Matthew 4:1-11).
