The study of the influence of occupations using an interactive board in a kindergarten on the functional state of the organism of children aged 6–7 years was conducted. Interactive whiteboard was used in all classes (two or three) during the day. The continuous duration of its use in each lesson did not exceed 5 minutes, and the total – 20 minutes. As a control used the results of similar studies in these same children in the classroom without using an interactive whiteboard. Comparative analysis of the results of the studies did not reveal differences in fatigue and psychoemotional state of children in response to developmental studies using and without the use of an interactive whiteboard. A pronounced activating influence of occupations using an interactive board on the activity of the central nervous system was established.

Summary. Introduction: Active introduction of electronic learning tools in educational institutions poses new health risks to school-age children. Creating a modern and secure digital educational environment requires constant monitoring of the conditions and modes of use of new electronic tools, the diversity of which is changing rapidly. The purpose of this work was to assess certain parameters of indoor school environment influenced by the use of interactive panels (IPs), an e-learning tool of the latest generation. Materials and methods: We studied the parameters of electromagnetic radiation, microclimate (air temperature and relative humidity), artificial lighting levels, chemical composition of indoor air, concentrations of positive and negative air ions during the school day in classrooms with and without interactive panels. The measurements were carried out in accordance with the approved methods of laboratory and instrumental research, and the results were then assessed for compliance with current sanitary rules and regulations. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using parametric methods of statistical analysis. Results and conclusion: Indices of the microclimate and air ions in IP-equipped classrooms demonstrated a more pronounced negative dynamics during the school day. Our findings indicate the need for hygienists to pay close attention to the problem of using new electronic teaching aids and interactive panels in particular, to continue research in the area under study in order to elaborate hygienic regulations for applying IPs in the classroom and to prevent overwork and health risks to school-age children.
