Two of my students are working on the WiiMote thing. I’ll know in a few weeks if they succeed.

Only a matter of time before schools catch on and start replacing overhead projectors, dry erase markers, overhead slides, and other consumable presentation materials with digital projectors. Especially as the content we deliver becomes and and more visual and digital in nature.

One thought Dan, would it be easier for the cherubs to follow if the next slide instead showed a strikethrough of the y-intercept and listed the coordinates of the point below?

Any one manage the John Lee wiimote trick yet? I’m thinking about it for a summer project (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/)

bcarrera — Make a “poor woman’s smart board” by projecting directly on your white (or in my case green-chalk) board.

You can still write on your original board. Over the image. Nifty, huh?

And the eraser works to … um … erase.

My students are past being impressed by technology and don’t even notice the difference between a static image being presented by data projector or printed on an overhead transparency and being projected that way.

And the kids LOVE to use chalk/markers and write over a projected image. That is a novelty to them.

I use a projector everyday in my history classes.

My math classes I still need to think about. I can use it to show the contents of a lesson, but I have no way to actively do problems on it. Any suggestions?
