It can capture and project on a normal white board (projection requires a projector). It also can handle input from any wireless tablet. Seems like a versatile and competitive solution. http://www.mimio.com/ Here is another whiteboard solution. It can capture and project on a normal white board (projection requires a projector).

Generally teachers are asking kids to do the same things with different technologies (slates, chalkboards, overhead projectors, and now electronic whiteboards.) What we need to do is invite them to ask questions. And ask different questions ourselves. Questions that invite questions. It is possible to teach more interactively with an electronic whiteboard, and I certainly have seen some teachers who do this. I'm not sure we're seeing much in the way of instructional change because of the large number of whiteboard purchases that are being made around the country, however. The whiteboard won't by itself change things, the teacher has to make those changes. Karen: I think Marco’s point today about electronic whiteboards was very powerful.

I see many electronic whiteboards used as glorified whiteboards. The cost of the electronic whiteboards is significant and I have to admit, I have never seen them used to their capabilities. Have you? The cost is a factor for me. Wes,
