1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background In early 1990s, the first smartboard was invented (SMART Technologies Inc., 2006). According the Smart Technologies website, “it was the first interactive whiteboard to give touch control of computer applications and annotation over standard Microsoft Windows application”. Operation system of the smartboard consists of smartboard, computer, projector and special software. All the components are connected wireless or via USB. The smartboard is a new revolutionary teaching tool for classrooms. It is a computer–based touch screen and a digital projector conveys the image on a computer screen to the touchscreen. The vision of the computer projects on the board. Its surface scanned with sound and infrared waves …show more content…
1.3 Scope
The main consideration of this project is to compare and contrast the criteria of the smart board and whiteboard. Although the smartboard bring many advantages to teachers and students compare to whiteboard, this report will compare and contrast only the criteria between them.
1.4 Organization
This project focuses on the criteria of the smart board and whiteboard. Firstly, a short introduction about the smartboard and whiteboard is given. Next, the method used to conduct the studies is highlighted. The findings about the studies are presented. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are made.
2.0 Methodology
This paper explains and discusses the results of a research project which aimed to compare and contrast the criteria between the smartboard and the whiteboard.

Apparently, it shows that the smartboard has audial and visual effect compare with whiteboard. Smartboards support the use of all kinds of visuals in computer environment as teaching tools and make the topic easy, enjoyable and interesting. As a Mathematics teacher, while learning and reviewing the math concepts, he constantly developed his own board games and used file folders for students to play (Amber, 2006). Smartboards function beyond the computers or projectors. Smartboards are compatible with both the PC and Mac. Commands are facilitated with body language or using an appropriate stylus pen, effectively delivering lessons that combine a simple whiteboard with computer technology. Smartboard connect to a computer to display educative and interactive materials on the computer. It is large enough for whole classes to view clearly from all areas of a classroom (Andrea, n.d.). Besides that, smartboards have multifunction such as touchscreen, write, draw and save. Essam and Sharbib (2012) stated that teachers can write, draw and annotate on the surface of smartboard by using the built-in software. The smartboard is a computer-based touchscreen while it also acts a digital projector which conveys the image on a computer screen to the touchscreen. Therefore, it can be directed by touching the board directly or via a particular pen. In addition, smartboard requires
