    @Samuel: Thanks for putting it together! There’s no way I could do all the video stuff – not my skillset. I think we complement well :)

    I`m not a Mac person, but this sounds like a really neat application! I can see how it would be useful for a lot of people, contractors to teachers.

    I’ve been perfecting the use of the Wii IWB in my classroom for the past two years. I’ve posted lots of resources, tutorials, and tips on my blog: http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2009/12/upcoming-posts-wii-interactive.html

    My most recent post (March of 2010) is a comprehensive review of the IR pens from four different companies. That post can be accessed here: http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2010/02/ir-pen-product-review-updated.html
