Rich White of Edusim had posted a comment about my Smartboard Presentation that I accidentally deleted.  He directed me to his site -- and I'm glad he did. Eduism is a free opensource 3D environment specifically for the interactive whiteboard.  Check out the video below.  It looks almost like a SecondLife environment.  Wow!
Then I found this video showing another way to create a DIY interactive whiteboard with a Wii remote.  Could/Would school districts be willing to take advantage of this type of technology?  Teachers would still need a projector, which can run from $500-1200.  But it's definitely cheaper than the $2500 and up needed for a commercial interactive whiteboard.  Check out that video below.
Then my jaw dropped further when I saw this video of a device called an eBeam that turns regular monitors into touchscreens! Amazing!!
I will definitely post more about Eduism as I peruse the site some more.  VERY cool stuff!
