This document provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages and disadvantages of three popular interactive whiteboard brands: EBEAMS, Smart Boards, and Promethean. EBEAMS offers functional recording and sharing capabilities but lacks group input support. Smart Boards engage and are user-friendly but can be hard to write on and are costly. Promethean boasts durable construction and easy setup, yet requires specific tools and is also expensive. For educators, the choice between these technologies depends on their specific teaching needs and budget considerations.
