We are using the Qomo QIT30 that we available on the Coop. We checked out the eInstruction model, but settled on the Qomo. We never tested the Smart or Promethan version, so I can't speak to those. We have been buying our Qomo tablets from Berg A/V, and the cost is $325 or so.

We have chosen the wireless tablets as our interactive piece, so we don't want to install these boards around the district. New they are $1000, and we would love to sell them for $500 each. We have one out of the box that we have played a little with, and the other is NIB.

For Document Cameras, the best bang for the buck we've found in the Elmo TT-02s http://www.amazon.com/TT-02S-USB-2-0-SLOT-LIGHT/dp/B000VK5BMG shop around, the price varies by vendor and it changes often. Our teachers love them, and they are useful in ways that the old overhead projectors are not. For example, putting a big picture book under one and just being able to project it on the screen or whiteboard. As for projectors, remember, none of these work without a projector. We're pretty sold on Epson for general usage.

I have reread the emails from those that have or are planning to add these to their schools. If any of you could give an update on where you are with the interactive whiteboards - which ones you are using, what you recommend, how they are being used, and any warnings before ordering these. I know a couple of teachers have mentioned the document camera to me but I think it would be a modernized overhead projector. Our superintendent attended a national conference, attended a demonstration of an interactive whiteboard and returned saying he wants them put in all of the elementary classrooms. Appreciate any help, it does get confusing when researching the various ones.
