I know you probably have tons of questions, so I would like to meet with you to discuss them. My name is Erik and I am your area Account Rep for SMART Technologies. I would love to set up a time to visit Jacksonville and discuss how SMART could help your schools and students. My email address is erikshafer@smarttech.com. Thank you for your time, and have a great day. I couldn’t help but read your wonderful review from FETC and your research on interactive whiteboards.

I was an "early adopter" and have taught on IWBs since 2002. My smartboard was always having problems. My 5th graders couldnt write on the board without an elbow or the side of their hand touching it and thus throwing off whatever they were attempting to annotate. The "resistive film" didnt survive a child taking a staple remover to it and overall the software was limited. Then I got an Activboard and have kept up with the product since. I use it all day, every day, for all of my classes. The software is so well integrated with the web and our network of teaching resources that i rarely spend more than a few minutes getting ready with a new lesson. My favorite part is their egg-shaped SRS which I also use daily and export to grading software. Seriously - SMART is a product designed for the corporate board room that has been spun into edu. Same for Mimio. Check out Promethean... educators creating education products really is the way to go. I think you should investigate Promethean.

I prefer the NextWindow Human Touch, because it doesn't require frequent calibration. It contains a wi-fi and blue-tooth enabled computer, so there is no need for a projector. This eliminates the problem of shadows on the screen. http://www.nextwindow.com I’ve posted a link to the presentation on my blog, at http://techpsych.blogspot.com, along with a link to some of my previous posts that link to interactive websites and related activities that work well on whiteboards and other displays.
