All the above are true, but you also have interactive white boards (IWB's). These are a white board upon which the display screen from your computer is projected. You can use the special pens to write on the screen and what you are really doing is interacting with the computer.
It's great for teaching because you can use it like the normal white boards the others have told you about, but you can save the work to be recalled at a later date instead of having to write it all out again.
You can also show anything that you could call up on a computer screen to show a whole class. I wouldn't be without mine!

Usually, "whiteboard" refers to a writing surface that is white and affixed to the wall. It utilizes dry erase markers and replaces the chalkboard.
Also, it is a board that does what the above does, but also displays images from a specialized projector mounted on the ceiling or the side of the board. This version is produced by SMART, the makers of the SmartBoard

A white board is a dry erase board. They are very common in schools now as opposed to the chalk board/black board.

A white board is something that is commonly used in schools. Teachers and others can use a special marker and write on the board. when they are done, all they have to do it take something and clean off the markings.

White board is similar to a black board, except you use ink markers on the white board instead of the chalk that is used on the blackboard.
It is used mostly in offices/corporate settings, because people do not want to have chalk on their hands.

White board is the equivalent of a chalk board but is white and uses markers instead.I hate the fumes from the markers they make me nauseous.Blackboards are better and more economical in classroom settings.

It's like a chalk board but it's white. You use special removable magic markers to write on it.
