I'm not familiar at all with this software but have been thinking about something to work with this 'open source' interactive white board by Jonny Lee :-)  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgKCrGvShZs&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgKCrGvShZs&feature=related</a> (please excuse the 20 seconds of ads at the start--it really is amazing, though, if you haven't seen it.)  Would this software work with something like that?  Not only is the Wii 'smartboard' extremely affordable, it solves the size limitation of smartboards and promeathean boards.  Thanks, David<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 6:45 PM, Christopher Chan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:christopher.chan@bradbury.edu.hk">christopher.chan@bradbury.edu.hk</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Jordan Mantha wrote:<br> > HI all,<br> ><br> > Recently I wrote a blog post [0] about how I think Edubuntu and Linux<br> > in general in Education really need to succeed for Linux/FLOSS to go<br> > mainstream.
