ck). Why not try using a vRoom's whiteboard? You can get a free three seeat one through LearnCentral. If it works, you will have the added advantage that home bound students could log in from home and participate as well. There are a lot of Elluminate interactive already free to download that Elluminate users have shared. You can easily make your own activities by draging and dropping images from the net (doesn't work in IE for some reason), take a screenshot of, bring in from a hard drive, or make right there using the whiteboard tools.
Let me know if you need help and if the idea works. I teach fully online, so I don't need or have a whiteboard at the front of the room since a whiteboard is built in to Elluminate, but I am curious to know if it works.Talk to Alan Strange. He is exploring the use of the Elluminate vRoom with a Promethian right now and seems to be loving the combination. He is a memebre here at CR 2.0 as well as at Learn Central. He has a Wave about his explorations running too.…

, and Elluminate. We downloaded the trial versions of those to test. Eventually, we decided on Elluminate for a few reasons, including:
intuitive to use
online tutorials and trainings for moderators, as well as participants
VERY well-supported (company representatives answered all of our questions within 1-2 days, while we never got a single call-back from AT&T)
Elluminate is used in many colleges and schools and, thus, a lot of people already have experience with it
Elluminate is focused almost exclusively on online courses, so it's at the head of the pack in terms of development, etc.
there were a variety of subscrptions to suit our needs, so we could start small and grow as needed
I hope this helps. Good luck!

ant can double click to get into the frame to edit. You could also do application sharing where either the teacher or the student could show their word processor and everything that they do, live as it happens in the word processing software including where the pointer is and what vbuttons are being pushed. The one hosting the application can turn control over to another participant as well. Elluminate has a free 3-seater version. If you are working in a tutoring situation with one or two students it may be the answer to what you are seeking. If you want to give it a try and have any problems signing up for a vRoom or figuring out the techniques I described, let me know. I will give you a hand. :0)…
