Interactive Whiteboards

According to Diamond, NPD is seeing a spike in demand for interactive whiteboards from schools, as classes become more interactive through the use of technology.

“Schools are flipping their classrooms to teach the kids … teaching students to work in groups and turn into researchers.”

With interactive whiteboards, students can pull content from YouTube or online academic courses, and stream these videos as part of a presentation – teaching K-12 students to research and present data, said Diamond.

Diamond referenced Microsoft’s interactive whiteboard – the Surface Hub – but said other vendors are picking up this trend as well.
