Resources have had a long journey since the time they started inventing. Each era had its own resources with its respective importance.
As human evolution, each living or non-living thing has its own journey or evolution stages. Education system as a whole has a set of evolutions starting from the tools to the resources. The earlier 19th century had different teaching resources as compared to latest century. Earlier teachers and students were happy by using the blackboards and white chalks. Later the invention of coloured chalks not only added colour to studies but also added a new resource in the kitty.
Using white chalks and coloured chalks had few cons. Chalk is nothing but compressed dust and many teachers and students can be allergic to dust. So came in picture the new whiteboards with ink markers. The only defect in the new type of board was the usage of the ink markers. The markers get dry sooner if the caps are left open. The marker is also made up poisonous substances which can have harmful effects on inhalation. Due all the ill effects of the ink markers, came into limelight were the interactive whiteboards (Smart Boards).
Smart Board is an electrical device and consists of electromagnetic plates. The markers of these boards can be any blunt pointing object like a smooth headed stick or even your finger is sufficient. The interactive whiteboard (IWB) resources are used to enhance the performance of the interactive board. All the teaching resources are found free online. Teachers and students can easily use the IWB resources and enjoy learning in the classroom. Connecting to the world is also very easy with the help of whiteboard.
