Functionality

Both screen types can be used for writing or drawing with a stylus or your finger, but you can't write directly onto a smart board — you have to use a special pen that obscures the writing with plastic when you're done. Also, smartboards can allow teachers to control computer programs and presentations from their devices while pushing out content onto the interactive board. Interactive boards have fewer features and require more time-consuming setup time.
Smart interactive whiteboards are an excellent tool in the classroom. When used properly, they can help engage students in the learning process and make the classroom a fun place to learn.
Interactive whiteboards allow teachers to write on a screen while simultaneously projecting it into the room. This gives teachers the ability to present their lessons on a larger scale while also allowing students to see what is being taught. This also allows students to be more actively involved in their own learning because they can interact with the lesson as it is presented.
For example, if a teacher is reviewing a math problem and there are multiple steps involved, an interactive whiteboard can be used to walk students through each step of solving the problem. Students can see how each step fits into solving a more significant problem and how it will affect them individually.
Another way to use interactive whiteboards is to allow students to be more actively involved in their learning and manipulate what is displayed on the whiteboard. Smart interactive whiteboards allow teachers to provide students with questions on an interactive quiz that the teacher has already created. Students can read questions off the screen and answer them using either a computer or construction paper placed over a light sensor.¹⁴
IWB interactivity is powered by software that utilizes the board's physical attributes to make learning interactive, engaging, and fluid. You can use an IWB in any way you see fit, whether it's singular (i.e., making a presentation) or with a group (i.e., joint-learning activities).

Researches show that the recall rate is about 20%knowledge acquired through seeing, seen and heard

is 50% recall rate, both seen and heard, as to both experimental rate of 80%. In this aspect, multi-media
information transmitted by visual or audio materials is permanently observed. In a study it is observed
that students are very pleased with using multimedia elements, and they think that this experience is
interesting, motivating and contribute to their education (Akkoyunlu,2005: 9-18). To talk briefly about
some of the benefits of multimedia elements; we can mention these in the following order:
1.Students' levels of motivation are increased.
2.Teaching and learning processes have diversity and change.
3.It provides more effective training and practice on the subjects.
4.Students are informed about the country's culture, technology, history and daily life while learning a
foreign language thanks to the multi-media elements.
5.By the help of elements used by students they can obtain long- lasting information.
6.Multimedia elements help to create a language environment.
Through multimedia language items are to be performed as soon as possible and pleasurable
endeavors in language teaching, from vocabulary teaching which is very important in language teaching
to using the four basic language skills, the use of natural language idioms and proverbs teaching the many
activities. At least, this activity will make them have more positive attitudes towards language learning
over time.
