It is possible to fix the board and projector in a room permanently. This does entail extra expense but all the wires will be concealed and the board and projector will not be prone to going out of calibration. An alternative is for both to remain mobile providing flexibility in where it can be used.
A disadvantage is that the projector can be easily knocked making the board out of calibration. There is also the problem of trailing wires.
Whiteboards provide a truly interactive learning environment enabling the whole class to participate. Software such as My World, talking books, and early literacy and numeracy CDs all encourage children to approach the board and interact by touching parts that would normally respond to a mouse click on a computer screen.
