For a long time, chalkboards were the standard method of displaying and relaying information in most classrooms. As technology advanced, the chalkboard was replaced by the white board, a flat, plastic surface. The smartboard invented in 1991. Simply, the smartboard is a digital whiteboard and it could be briefly explained as an interactive white board (IWB's). An Interactive white board(IWB) is fast becoming a popular addition to school classrooms as well as to office meeting spaces. The smartboard is beneficial to save and store any information that is written on it, as well as enable the user to refer to notes downloaded from the internet or other sources. Most smartboard have the same features, allowing users to input data through the use of plastic pens that contain no ink, the user's hands, a wireless mouse or pointing device.
