Yes. Scanning material is a reproduction covered by the statutory licence under Part VB of the Copyright Act. Displaying the scanned copy on an interactive whiteboard involves a communication that is covered by an exception in the Copyright Act (section 28). The purpose of displaying the scanned copy must be educational instruction.
