Collaborating with colleagues or students becomes less hassle and more involved with an interactive whiteboard.

Global events over the past couple of years have necessitated many of us having to work remotely, where previously we worked in open office environments, with actual, rather than virtual, colleagues.

As we have had to learn to be more robust and adjust ourselves to this new way of life, so too has the technology that we use to do our jobs. Smart technology can now afford us the means to continue working remotely, but collaboratively.

Keep in touch with your remote team from anywhere in the world using an interactive whiteboard, and you can schedule and manage all your meetings using your favourite video conferencing apps. Keep team members perfectly in-sync with each other, and successfully manage projects remotely with one of these smartboards.

Here are the best interactive whiteboards right now.

Supporting Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and more, you can bring your content to the Vibe screen from another device.

An interactive smart board, also known as an electronic whiteboard, is a tool that allows images from a computer screen to be displayed onto a classroom or office board using a digital projector.

The teacher or presenter can then interact with the images directly on the screen using a tool or even a finger.

Interactive whiteboards are a great way to get students involved in their learning and to help them learn more effectively.

The boards allow students to interact with the material using physical tools, such as pens, instead of simply just sitting and listening to the teacher.

Interactive whiteboards are quickly becoming a go-to tool in in-person office settings.

The ability to shift between project topics and edit presentations and data in real-time improves productivity and efficiency. They also help employees strengthen relationships, improving their output and work environment.
