"Before using an interactive whiteboard we were at the mercy of the technology available at the point of presentation delivery--now we travel around our building with the interactive whiteboard as a complete package with laptop and data projector. We know that the presentation will work as designed each and every time we present--from a boardroom setting to a medium-sized auditorium. In a classroom environment, it has allowed us to immediately assess the students understanding of the teaching by breaking them free of the monitor in front of their eyes. The monitor used to distract them as the instructor was delivering materials. Often students would be doing their own thing instead of the lessons (such as surfing) because the instructor couldn't be assured of what they were doing. With TeamBoard, students assume they are going to be asked to come before the class and find the answers on the interactive whiteboard--all in all, both the student and the teacher comes away with a sense of having accomplished something at the end of the lesson. We didn't know what we were lacking in our presentations until we saw the TeamBoard demonstrated in an Adobe class at FrontRunner, it simply sold itself. Now many who we present to, ask about the TeamBoard itself afterwards. " Bill Hooykaas Operational Planning and Research Bureau "We have TeamBoard in our conference room, and it always gives a great impact on our clients. They are - with no exception - immensely impressed by the quality and ease with which it's used, especially when we can visit their website in real-time! The ability to hand them a printout of the meeting's notes when they leave is also an impressive advantage. I also use the TeamBoard when working in teams? everyone present can easily see what's happening on the screen, as opposed to having to gather round a small laptop. It's simple to handle, and I like it because I can use it "hands-on" when I want to present something. Its technical features enable me to use my hands and fingers instead of special tools such as pens and erasers. I can easily explain how it works to new users so that we can work with it together." Jappe Liljedahl Finoria Kommunikation Stockholm, Sweden "We have found the TeamBoard to be a great presentation tool. The TeamBoard provides more power to the presenter in order to transmit his or her thoughts to the audience. It is a valuable tool that enables the presenter to share his or her ideas in a flexible and contemporary way that leads to better business results." Linda Doo Caterpillar Canada Inc. Eastern Canada District Office "We have our TeamBoard permanently mounted in our library's main conference room. We use it as a touch screen for PowerPoint and other computer-based presentations and as normal whiteboard. The TeamBoard response is fast, the calibration is accurate, and the controls are easy to use. We have faculty from all over campus coming to our conference room to use our equipment. We get universal praise for the ease of use of our TeamBoard. The ability to save a whiteboard screen and print it to our color laserjet has saved untold scribbling. And, it's reassuring to know that service is only a phone call away." David Robinson Systems Librarian Middle Tennessee State University "I use a computer application called Electronics Workbench as I teach industrial electronics to technicians and engineers. When I start and stop simulations, attach and activate test equipment, and change component parameters by merely touching the TeamBoard, my students are visibly impressed." John Krasnevich Westinghouse Electric Company "TeamBoard Inc. offers several conference room-style whiteboards that offer superior integration with NetMeeting. I had the opportunity to use this product and was very impressed with its capability. If you are serious about integrating NetMeeting capabilities in your corporation, I suggest that you examine this product." Bob Summers Author of Official Microsoft NetMeeting Book © 1998 (p. 324) "TeamBoard's unique versatility adds a whole new dimension to teaching. Being able to accomplish all your tasks at the board makes a teacher's life much simpler." Steve Hoog AVM Coordinator Rockhurst University, Kansas City |
