    hi tim! I saw your comment about setting up the interactive board using the Wii remote. I have a Wii remote, but what else do I have to buy to put inside the pen? I want to try it, thanks!

    I have used the Smarttech Sympodiums but I prefer the Smartboards because of the touch. Our new elementary schools are opening with a Smartboard for almost all of the teachers. Therefore, I am working with universities to instruct the education departments to buy a Smartboard and require the students to make a Smartboard Notebook lesson (instead of a PowerPoint). This way the students are familiar with the software by the time they are applying for jobs.

    Here are 2 good Smartboard Resources:

    1. SOL Technology Integration Web page with over 1000 resources organized by SOL for K-12. http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/resources/soltechintegration.htm
    Especially under elementary (K-5), I have a Smartboard Notebook file posted for 95% of the SOLS for Social Studies and Science.

    2. Here is a MAC SMARTBoard ning if you need any troubleshooting hints, tips, or a Notebook 10 training file for Longwood. http://smartboardrevolution.ning.com/group/smartmacusers
