Electronic whiteboards are becoming the new standard in classrooms and meeting rooms, in the 21st century. They take presenting, teaching and learning to new levels of interactivity.

 What is an Electronic Whiteboard?

An electronic whiteboard allows material to be presented or displayed from a computer. Images, slides, text and even video can be displayed on an electronic whiteboard. Electronic whiteboard technology then allows for the teacher or presenter to interact with that image. For example, notes can be written on the electronic whiteboard adding information to the image presented. Electronic whiteboard technology can then capture that information and store it. Electronic whiteboards provide many useful applications in both business and classroom settings.

 Thermal Electronic Whiteboard

Thermal electronic whiteboards allow the user to write, and print in black and white only. Each thermal electronic whiteboard comes with a printer attached and the images captured on this electronic whiteboard are then printed on thermal paper. This provides ease of use, but presentations on thermal electronic whiteboards often lack flair as they can only be seen in black and white. The PLUS BF-041S Electronic Whiteboard is a good example of a thermal electronic whiteboard. It is a freestanding electronic whiteboard unit with the ability to be mounted and contains a printer.

 Color Electronic Whiteboard

Color electronic whiteboards can add pizzazz to presentations by introducing color. These electronic whiteboards can also be called copy boards. Using this technology, images are captured on the electronic whiteboard in color. These images can then be stored and either printed or distributed electronically. The PLUS M11s Electronic Whiteboard is a good choice for a color electronic whiteboard. It can be connected directly to a PC and images can be stored there or printed and distributed. Images stored on the computer from the electronic whiteboard can be further edited.

 Portable Electronic Whiteboards

A portable electronic whiteboard is an alternative solution to a standard electronic whiteboard. Using a system such as eBeam, it is possible to turn any whiteboard into an electronic whiteboard. Simply attach the eBeam receiver to the whiteboard and connect the receiver with a USB cable to your computer. This system is quick and easy to set up on any whiteboard and it is easy to transport. The Quarter IdeaShare Q8000 Portable Whiteboard Capture System includes a receiver, mounting systems, electronic pens, dry-erasure markers, software and USB cable. These come with a carry bag for ease in portability. Portable electronic whiteboard systems are an economical alternative to standard electronic whiteboard systems.

 Electronic whiteboards are setting the standard in presenting in both business and classroom settings. New schools being built include electronic whiteboards in each classroom. Electronic whiteboard sales have reached nearly $1 billion dollars. Teachers are developing new teaching strategies utilizing interactive whiteboards and are finding excellent results in student learning. Electronic whiteboards have a positive effect on the motivation and attention learners have toward their subject.     While electronic whiteboards might once have been the wave of the future in classrooms and business settings, this is a technology that is here to stay.

It’s a fact that in this competitive and demanding world many of us tend to work too hard and the office has become our second home. In this article, I would like to introduce to you my top 5 office gadgets and toys which I hope will add a little fun to your day and provide some light stress relief for those stressful moments in the office.

Monday – Hatch Em Reptile Eggs

These Hatch Em Reptile Eggs are the hottest new craze in pets. They are amusing to watch or some may even find them creepy. Whatever the feelings, they will bring out the youth in you and put a smile on your face. Hatch one at the beginning of the week and watch your week go by (hopefully quicker) as these amazing animals start to crack out of their egg shell and grow into a 6 inches pet.

Tuesday – The Soccer Pro Robot

Even if you are not a David Beckham fan you will find the Soccer Pro Robot highly stimulating and fun in the comfort of your own office. The highly-acclaimed, award-winning Soccer Robot has been totally redesigned to create even more excitement and good old human-robot interaction. A third motor has been added to this amazing robot, which is used to catch and shoot a ball. Its incredible fast track wheel system powers this unit to make unbelievable sonic maneuvers on the desktop or on the floor. Why not share the fun and have the Soccer Pro race down the corridor and watch it run forward, backward, turns left or right, and executes 360-degree turns.

Wednesday – Wind Up Racing Grannies and Fighting Granddads

Who said, when you’re older you become less mobile? This is certainly not the case for these two racing grannies. Wind up these old dears and watch them race at crippling speeds!

If having fun with your grannies is not enough, how about having a laugh at your granddads too? Wind up these fighting granddads and watch them give the grannies a run for their money. They may be old but all those years of unused muscles are coming to life.

These grannies and granddads are truly hilarious and will surely attract a few laughs in the office and make a great conversation piece.

Thursday – Shocking Novelties

Ok….you are almost through the work week and are sick and tired of pens, staplers and calculators disappearing from your desk. These shocking novelties will certainly shock your co-workers away once and for all and why not have a laugh at their expense at the same time!

These shock pens actually write – this feature adds to the chances of fooling the victim. The shocking calculator actually looks so real that your unsuspecting co-workers will never know what hit them. The “On/Off” button when pushed will “ZAP” them away. Finally, the shocking Stapler is the ultimate office gag that is sure to scare any unsuspecting culprit who likes to borrow and not return.

Friday – Duck Shooting Gallery

TGIF! By now, you are probably ready to shoot the next person that walks into your office. Why not get it out of your system with the Duck Shooting Game. This is a replica of the beloved carnival game that provides hours of fun. It is fully automated with a conveyor carrying the targets past the cross hairs, accompanying music and sound effects and a wireless infrared pistol. A hit will knock over a duck, and register on the game’s LCD display. Each duck down scores you 10 points. Play against the clock to beat your best score in one minute or select continuous play for hours of duck shooting fun.
