What is Whiteboard?
[[File:Board1.JPG|thumb|A whiteboard with words written on it]] A '''whiteboard''', also called a '''markerboard''', is a drawing surface on which markings made with [[marker]]s are visible. It is used as a surface to [[write]] on. Whiteboards are often used to help [[teach]]. Special markers are used that can be [[erase]]d. Whiteboards usually have a shiny surface. Before there were whiteboards, people used [[blackboard]]s so much. Chalks are used for writing on blackboards. Now, there is another improvement, people are now using electronic whiteboards, where it is controlled by a [[computer]] - this is sometimes called an interactive whiteboard (IWB). These were particularly popular in English schools in the 2000s. ==Related pages== *[[Interactive whiteboard]] {{tech-stub}} [[category:Writing media]] [[category:learning]]
