The interactive whiteboard has a wide range of functionality: from ordinary drawing on a virtual surface to adding information and objects found on the Internet, creating presentations, demonstrating practical skills and working with video files, allows students to touch the picture to choose the correct answer. This makes the information more visual, creates a creative atmosphere in the classroom, and stimulates group discussions. In addition, teachers, using an interactive whiteboard, will be able to create their own methodological base, saving illustrative materials (text and multimedia files, tables, diagrams, images from the Internet, etc.). The board is installed in the lecture hall of the department and teachers have already been able to get acquainted with its wide possibilities for use in the educational process.
