Interactive boards |
The iTaLAM application is supported on Android-based smartboards; however, because different smartboard models vary in functionality, certain interactive features (such as drag-and-drop or tracing) may not work properly through direct touch. To ensure full functionality, the interactive board must be connected to an iTaLAM compatible computer, and teachers should run the iTaLAM program from that computer, using the mouse and keyboard rather than relying solely on the smartboard’s touch interface. |
