Associated Equipment
A variety of accessories is available for interactive whiteboards:
- Mobile stand — Allows the interactive whiteboard to be moved between rooms. Many are height adjustable as well.
- Personal Response System — Allows students to answer test questions posted on the whiteboard or take part in polls and surveys.
- Printer — Allows copies of the whiteboard notes to be made.
- Remote control — Allows the presenter to control the board from different parts of the room and eliminates on-screen toolbars.
- Slate or tablet — Allows students control of the whiteboard away from the front of the room.
- Track — Allows the whiteboard to be placed over a traditional whiteboard or tackboard to provide additional wall space at the front of the room. Some tracks provide power and data to the whiteboard as well.
- Video projector — Allows a computer display to be projected onto the whiteboard. 'Short Throw' projectors are available from some manufacturers that mount directly above the board minimizing shadow effects. 'Ultra Short Throw' projectors are even more effective.
- Wireless unit — Allows the interactive whiteboard to operate without wires to the computer, e.g. Bluetooth.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
