There's an app out there that calls itself an iPad whiteboard. It allows you to write on it with various types of markers, import pictures and play videos. It records what happens and allows you to play it back. Sounds great.<br />
<br />
My question is, why are we replicating whiteboards? Why would we use an iPad, a mobile, multifaceted high-functioning device to replicate an immobile, wall-mounted writing surface?<br />

<br />
This looks like a great app, and I'll certainly use it, but let's admit that it is not the answer, but just a bridge. It's a step in the right direction of where we need to go in terms of creating interactive, portable learning platforms that allow for capturing our learning and discovery process. What we don't need is more whiteboards.<br />

UK Educators are getting quite excited over their latest Whiteboard technology which allows them to share materials and resources right across the board. Even those who do not have access to Whiteboards will be able to get in on the action though, by using a Common File Format (CFF). The CFF will allow teachers to open the documents in any word processor and also gives them the option to edit and change the material in any way. <br/><br/>Apparently, this technology will not be seen in North American anytime soon because of complications with whiteboard vendors. Is this something you would like to utilize in your own classroom? <br/><br/>Check out the full article <a href="http://kiwicommons.com/2010/04/interactive-whiteboard-tech-mark-future-of-classrooms-in-the-uk/">here</a>. <br/> Wii Interactive Whiteboard: IR Pen Reviewtag:www.classroom20.com,2010-03-02:649749:Topic:4416422010-03-02T10:51:28.417ZJohn Sowashhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/jrsowash

I also thought that it might be a great thing for kids to show their parents at student led conferences, as many parents may not have seen something like this before.<br/><br/>So, my question is, what would be a cool thing for a fourth grader to show their parents on a SmartBoard? What kind of activity, project, or website would be a good one to demonstrate the capabilities of this new technology to our classroom? All ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks.<br/> Interactive Projectorstag:www.classroom20.com,2010-01-16:649749:Topic:4276632010-01-16T03:40:30.729ZJonathan Wyliehttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JonathanWylie

I'm working with a large group of teachers, and I'm trying to provide a low-cost interactive whiteboard option to them. I've created a Wiimote Interactive Whiteboard, which is great (and only $55). But now, I need to find some free software to use with it.<br />

In the past, I've used Promethean ACTIVstudio software, which is great. Promethean has a free version that you can use without Promethean hardware, called ActivInspire, which is nice. However, ActivInspire (and all the other free and open…

However, ActivInspire (and all the other free and open source software I've found) doesn't include an image library.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of any free interactive whiteboard software that includes annotation, an image library, as well as widgets/tools like the ACTIV ruler, protractor and dice? If not, what's the best free software you've come across for use with an interactive whiteboard?<br />

I had difficulty setting up my interactive white board this year and needed the tech's help. We're both in awe of a ghostly looking mouse that appears when you touch the board but we don't know how to get it to work. We figure it has some awesome applications, but right now it's just an obstacle.<br />
<br />
Could anyone point us in the right direction (I think its version 10.2)?<br />
<br />
