Whiteboard translation

When i look up the translation of le tableau, the first word I find is painting.
Would it be better to say le tableau blanc when speaking about a whiteboard?

Bonjour Lewie,

In French, "un tableau" can be "a painting" as well as "a whiteboard". It all depends on the context.

Ton tableau est magnifique = Your painting is beautiful
Le professeur écrit les instructions au tableau = The teacher is writing the instructions on the white/black board

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
