A huge step backwards. It is tedious, glitchy and has fewer options than ActivInspire. The interactive board can't draw shapes or lines, the undo button crashes almost every time. Can't write over documents or desktop. Way more limited options.

How I Use It

I wanted to load Flipcharts I already created. Objects are layered wrong, magic ink, containers and other fun features no longer work. I have had to recreate hours of lesson material because it did not sync with the new system. I want to show PowerPoints that I have created but they are small images of the PowerPoint and cannot be manipulated or enlarged. I want to draw shapes at the board to demonstrate math vocabulary like diameter, circumference etc. but the interactive board does not offer shapes or even straight lights. I have tried to use the lesson creator tool to draw these shapes with my class but it is slow and lags. If I make a mistake drawing. I click the undo button and almost every time it will crash the system. My students work at the board is sloppy because they scribble it out rather than take the time to erase with the tiny eraser. There are only six colors for the interactive board, it seems way more limited when trying to match the colors on my student worksheets, especially those with pennies (there is no brown). I can't even change the background color of the interactive white board. I want to project documents of my worksheets for my students to write over but this feature is no longer available. I have to upload every document individually rather than just annotating over already existing documents. Again, hours of work creating lessons that now need to be individually converted over. I use the internet option to go to the same websites every day and have to type it in every time. I really wish there were a bookmark option. Mirroring other screens is a fantastic tool that I am excited about but when playing video or using the mouse there is a lag that makes it very difficult to use.
