[info-tech] smartboard - electronic white board

2008-05-30 Thread Brad Kruse
We have a teacher here that would like to use one of these next year. We do not have any in the district. Can anyone recommend one that is being used now or suggestions? Thanks. I started looking but so many different models. Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars! Brad Kruse

We are getting in at least 6 of the Promethean Activboards. We currently have one of the Smartboards right now and the new ones seem to be a lot nicer. Mitch From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richardson,Tony Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 7:52 AM To:

Well, to throw another kink in the situation, we went a different way. Since we already had multimedia rooms setup with a permanent projector and 8' screen in place, we have started integrating an interactive tablet. We are using the Qomo RF Tablet, which we are getting from Berg Audio Video

Jeremy, That's sort of what we thought getting all of our teachers tablet pcs and wireless projectors. However, most are reluctant to use the technology as we intended. So, we have rethought the situation and have decided to try the Mimios knowing full well the limitations you suggested. We had a

We have 37 smartboards in Sioux City. We have looked at all the other types and are sticking with the Smart product. As we use more and more of the Document Cameras, we get farther and farther away from the interactive whiteboards. I had a teacher who had both and ended up giving his smartboard

Jackie- I just called him last week, and he ran up to get my stuff already. He also said their other truck was in Minnesota, so maybe they could just swing by. We had 7 pallets of stuff for them. Otherwise, we will be having another truck towards the end of summer. Jeremy
