.GWB File

What is a .GWB file?

A .GWB file is a presentation file created by InterWrite Workspace, a software program used to enhance classroom lessons. It contains one or more pages that may include annotations such as notes, highlights, drawings, screenshots, and graphs.

GWB files are a popular format for educational presentations because they are easy to create and share. They can be used to create interactive presentations that allow students to participate in the learning process. GWB files can also be used to create static presentations that can be printed or shared online.

Here are some of the benefits of using GWB files:

• They are easy to create and edit, even for users with no prior experience with presentation software.
• They can be used to create interactive presentations that allow students to participate in the learning process.
• They can be used to create static presentations that can be printed or shared online.
• They are compatible with a variety of devices, including interactive whiteboards, computers, and tablets.

InterWrite Workspace was developed by InterWrite, Inc., a company that was founded in 1989. In 2010, InterWrite was acquired by SMART Technologies, a leading provider of interactive displays and education solutions.

InterWrite Workspace is a software program that allows users to create and deliver interactive presentations. It includes a variety of features, such as the ability to insert images, videos, and web pages into presentations; create interactive activities, such as quizzes and polls; and collaborate with other users in real time. InterWrite Workspace is a popular choice for educators and businesses because it is easy to use and offers a variety of features that can be used to create engaging and informative presentations.

However, InterWrite Workspace is no longer actively developed and supported by SMART Technologies. In 2018, SMART Technologies announced that it would be discontinuing InterWrite Workspace and that users should migrate to SMART Notebook, SMART's flagship presentation software.

While InterWrite Workspace is no longer actively supported, it is still used by many educators and businesses. There are also a number of third-party tools and resources available to help users continue using InterWrite Workspace.
