Free (and low cost) web based interactive whiteboard tools

I just finished a two part blog posting series, looking into a handful of free online interactive whiteboard tools, at www.emergingedtech.com/?p=314. There are a number of really good tools out there that will work well in a classroom with a projector and a few computers, without having to buy a proprietary piece of hardware. Great stuff, especially in these budget bashing times!

Hi Kelly. I looked at both of your blog posts. I had not previously heard of any of the products that you featured. I don't have a interactive whiteboard (a commercial one that is), and because of their high costs I doubt I will be getting one anytime soon! I set up a "Wiiboard" in my classroom and it has worked very well. I can easily see myself using imaginationcubed or one of the other products in conjunction with my wiiboard.

Hadn't heard about the "Wiiboard" idea - I'll have to check that out. Thanks John!

You can always try out the Smoothboard software for it adopts the low-cost principle. With its constant improvisation on the features, its really benefits us in the education field.
