For many decades blackboards have been the order of every classroom, lecture rooms, kitchen, playroom and the likes. Both boards have served their purpose and still do to date; they both have their advantages and disadvantages CITATION ByJ11 l 1033 (Ramani). Blackboard is recommended for handwriting development, young learners do well on it than on the soft white board, in coloring and shading, one can read faster in black and white, they are readily available, are durable can last between 5 to 10 years, they are cheap to purchase and maintain. Chalks dust is the cause of allergies cases such as asthma, coughs, wheezing and itchy eyes that are on the rise in most of the institution. The dust pollutes the air and when inhaled for a long period results in respiratory diseases, chalk dust will dirty your clothes, dust will settle and track itself all over classrooms which call for more cleaning, when equipment like computers, microscopes accumulates their performance is slower which calls for regular servicing which increase maintenance cost. It is limited, only one person can use it at a time and cannot add new contents without wiping the old one. The teacher is forced to involve the students to keep them alert and active.
With all these shortcomings, the whiteboard is the way to go; it can spark the interest of the most inactive students and cause them to concentrate and keep them alert and active by connecting students and their teachers for discussion, class time becomes exciting and engaging.

Students get ideas from one another, in turn, improve in various subjects. Whiteboards give an option to modify, save and print for revision purpose. The teachers are better equipped to attend to students by accessing different modes of teaching tools with annotation tools, image galleries and background templates with maps and grids which enhance better learning and performance. Interactive whiteboards have their share of problems; they are costly to purchase, their maintenance can be high if not properly handled, they can also be easily misplaced which will need replacement. Dry erases cost slightly higher than chalks, which are cheap and readily available. An interactive whiteboard encourages class discussions, group research. With high competition, students have no option than intensifying their study in return; they will improve their academic performance. Teachers will have a wide range of teaching materials, different techniques to reach the slow learners which will raise the overall score of the campus. With the good academic result, the name of the institution will begin to sale; more students will enrol adding up their income and moulding the future generation. Word travel like a bushfire, in a short while institutions, will introduce the same, the high demand of these materials, will attract more investors who will begin companies to meet the demand, whiteboard, dry makers, erase in return. The community will get job opportunities to work in the company and market their products; this will boost their living standards and empower growth.
