 What Are the Benefits of an Interactive Whiteboard?
 Imagine a whiteboard on which you can not only write but also play videos, show interactive 
presentations and recall previously erased information. That's what an interactive whiteboard does 
using a special touch-sensitive whiteboard in conjunction with a computer and projector to receive 
commands and display information.
 One of the most significant advantages of 
 interactive whiteboards is that they enable far 
 greater participation than traditional whiteboards. 
 For example, interactive whiteboards can be used 
 in conjunction with individual devices that enable 
 participants or an audience to answer questions or 
 vote from their seats and have their responses 
 collected instantly on the whiteboard. They also 
 enable people to manipulate information in ways 
that wouldn't be possible or practical on a regular whiteboard, such as tapping to perform 
calculations on the screen, reveal layers of information, or moving information around with the tip 
of a finger.
 All of the information on an interactive whiteboard actually comes from a connected computer 
and is simply projected onto the whiteboard. This means whatever you do on the whiteboard can be 
recorded directly to a hard drive and even transported on portable storage. This enables you to recall 
and reuse the information, such as the results of a brainstorming session, any time. By contrast, data 
on a traditional whiteboard must be copied manually or lost when erased.
 There are a variety of visuals that can be used with interactive whiteboards. Videos can be 
uploaded from websites or previously saved files. Additionally, entire presentations can be 
uploaded onto an interactive whiteboard. You can display and manipulate complex images and 
graphics. All of this can create a more engaging presentation which can help keep the audience's 
attention.
 Particularly for students, an advantage of interactive whiteboards is that they give students a 
chance to interact extensively with technology. Particularly, if students are allowed to use the 1. With the diversity of this type of dictionaries, we can choose ___________.

 How has learning English adapted to online education?
One of the most important factors when learning a language is human presence - nobody can teach 
you a language better than someone who knows it. It is important to have a good balance between 
self-study exercises and live classes. Each student has specific needs when learning English 
between Al and C2 levels, they live and learn English in a different way.
With online courses, we should focus on technology and innovation in education. Online learning 
provides interactive exercises and multimedia lessons for students to improve their grammar, 
vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking skills.
The key strength of any online course is teachers, who guarantee the best learning experience. 
Teachers should be dedicated to guiding and supporting students both in one-to-one private classes 
or in group classes.
The current fight against the COVID-19 pandemic is something that concerns us all, therefore, it is 
important to follow the guidance to stay at home. But this should not mean that we must stop 
learning.
