IWBs provide ways to show students anything which can be presented on a computer's desktop (educational software, web sites, and others).

The lessons were becoming more imaginative, colourful and interactive as they became more confident with the software and developed their skills in using the board (Karen, 2007).

The IWB enable more varied, creative and engaging classrooms (Judge, 2007).
