An electronic whiteboard is a device ranging in size from 2x3 feet
to the size of a "blackboard". It's surface is white and senstive to the
colored stylus marker used to write upon it. As you write, the audience can
see your work, but also the information is digitized and sent to an
attached computer and / or over a network to remote computers.
Information written on the board can be printed out from the
computers saved, etc.
However, I have recieved info that erasing on them is problematic,
since you must erase over the stroke of what is written. Also, they are
technically fussy.
