While your chosen interactive whiteboard provider will invariably have provided you the desired advice to get you underway, below are a series of links to start up advice and assistance for the IWBs more commonly used by schools.

Bear in mind you can invariably download, free of charge, the board provider’s applications software to your own Mac or PC.

Sometimes you can’t use all of the functions without linking to the board, but usually you can do your own preparation and most importantly your initial playing in your own time on your personal computer.
