Who moved my cheese?<br />
A common refrigerator with a common human fraility. Cheese stck lust!<br />
Could be a good book title there!<br />
<br />
All you need is an infrared or motion detection switch for any digital camera. I am sure some "WizKid" has a YouTube on that contraption.<br />
I'll put my thiking cap on for that one.<br />

I like the Mimios as well, but I think the Wiimotes are comparable, especially since there are a lot of vendors that sell the pens (for about $10), so you don't have to build anything yourself. Also, ActivInspire interactive whiteboard software is FREE to use, and the license allows you to use it on any board.

I agree with Katy that the Wiimote is the way to go. I use one and it travels well. Plus, I'm able to use both on hard surfaces and screen pull-downs if need be (like a library). We put our Wiimote inside a clear shoebox and cut foam around it to make it secure. It's great and very cost-effective.<br />
<br />
Then like Katy said, take some of that money and put it towards some Flip Cameras. I would then make sure you save some money on PD. Hire and bring in someone that will show you HOW to use the…

Then like Katy said, take some of that money and put it towards some Flip Cameras. I would then make sure you save some money on PD. Hire and bring in someone that will show you HOW to use the technology purchases in a meaningful way. I'm not talking about a how-to-use only session....but one that shows a strategy that can be actionable right-away for your teachers.<br />

We do trainings like that and I think it would benefit your teachers as it could marry tech hardware, web 2.0 sites, and interactive pedagogy.

If you already have the projectors, a very elegant solution is a mimio interactive bar. Basically, a mimio (<a href="http://www.mimio.com/index.asp" target="_blank">http://www.mimio.com/index.asp</a>) turns any surface into an interactive white board. You can use your existing white boards or even a blank wall as the projection surface. It's priced somewhere between the Wiimote boards you make yourself and an interactive white board that hangs on the wall and will fit within your budget easily.…
If you already have the projectors, a very elegant solution is a mimio interactive bar. Basically, a mimio (<a href="http://www.mimio.com/index.asp" target="_blank">http://www.mimio.com/index.asp</a>) turns any surface into an interactive white board. You can use your existing white boards or even a blank wall as the projection surface. It's priced somewhere between the Wiimote boards you make yourself and an interactive white board that hangs on the wall and will fit within your budget easily. One of the advantages of the mimio bar over the Wiimote type set-up is that you don't have to make it yourself and it comes with software similar to an interactive white board. The big advantage the mimio bar (in addition to the price) has over an installed interactive white board is that you can easily move it around from classroom to classroom. Also, since you use an existing white board, there are no installation costs and you don't have to be worried about somebody using the wrong type of marker on an easily damaged interactive white board surface.

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.
