Independent School Educators network

Hi, All

We have two classrooms where both traditional projectors and Epson Brightlinks aren't a good fit for interactivity.  Both rooms currently have small Smartboards and projectors, but it's time for an upgrade.

Has anyone tried 55 inch interactive LCD panels (with Smartboard softwre)?  The modern ones are interesting to us, but we're curious about performance and compatibility with Macbooks.  Here's two examples:

If anyone has one of these, or similar, how are they working out?

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

It's not quite here yet, but this device and its descendants is something to keep an eye on.

Very cool.  However, I don't see how line breaks are done when using the stylus-- I only see continuous lines.  I wonder if it will be hard to know how to lift and apply the pen in open air to create line gaps.

The three dimensional aspect of it, however, is really fascinating.
