smart boards

Interactive classroom displays

Smart boards are interactive whiteboards that connect to computers, allowing users to control software, annotate documents, and display content by touching the screen directly.

Common in classrooms and conference rooms, they replaced traditional whiteboards and overhead projectors: The teacher pulled up a map on the smart board.

The term derives from the brand SMART Board but applies generically to similar devices.
