Background of the study
Effective classroom interaction is pivotal for enhancing student learning, particularly in science education where complex concepts often require dynamic visualization. In government science schools in Gombe, Gombe State, traditional blackboards and static teaching aids may not sufficiently engage students or support collaborative learning. A digital whiteboard system offers an innovative solution by enabling interactive, real-time instruction that integrates multimedia content, online collaboration, and immediate feedback (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024). This system allows teachers to display digital content, annotate lessons, and even simulate scientific experiments, thereby creating a more engaging and interactive learning environment. Additionally, digital whiteboards can facilitate remote learning and peer-to-peer interaction, making it easier for students to share ideas and collaborate on projects. Despite the benefits, the implementation of digital whiteboards faces challenges such as high costs, technical maintenance issues, and the need for teacher training in digital tools. This study aims to design and implement a digital whiteboard system tailored for government science schools in Gombe, evaluate its impact on student learning and teacher efficiency, and identify strategies to overcome operational challenges (Chinaza, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Government science schools in Gombe currently rely on traditional teaching aids that limit interactive learning and collaboration. The static nature of conventional blackboards hinders the effective demonstration of scientific concepts and restricts student participation. While digital whiteboard systems promise to transform classroom instruction by providing interactive, multimedia-rich learning experiences, their adoption is impeded by several factors. High acquisition and maintenance costs, inadequate technical support, and insufficient training for educators limit their effective utilization. These challenges result in a learning environment where students do not fully benefit from interactive instruction, thereby impacting their understanding of complex scientific phenomena. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a digital whiteboard system in improving educational outcomes, identify key technical and operational barriers, and propose strategies for its sustainable integration in government science schools in Gombe (Ibrahim, 2024; Adeola, 2023).
Objectives of the study

Significance of the study
This study is significant as it explores the potential of digital whiteboard technology to enhance classroom interaction and learning outcomes in government science schools, thereby improving educational practices and student performance in Gombe (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study
The study is limited to the design and implementation of a digital whiteboard system in government science schools in Gombe, Gombe State. Limitations include high cost, technical support variability, and teacher readiness.
