Since this will be my second to last blog about IWBs, I wanted to show off some interesting things I have discovered while learning about them.
Here is a video clip where a remote for the Nintendo Wii is used to create an IWB. I thought it was just used as the pointer but I was very wrong.
As a huge sports fan, I find it super cool that SportsNation on ESPN has a regular segment in which the hosts use an IWB. Take a look at this example.
If anyone else has any examples showing IWBs being used outside of the classroom, please share them.
Hi Greg:
ReplyDeleteI liked the Johnny Lee presentation that discussed using infrared LED light pens with a Wii remote to create interactive white boards for cheap. Also, I tought is was so cool when he used two pens to create a multi-touch interactive system. Thanks fir sharing these videos. They are great.

Greg,
ReplyDeleteWow - I was blown away by the Johnny Lee presentation. I cannot believe he mastered technology in such a way that he has created a completely inexpensive alternative to the expensive commercial interactive whiteboards. I would be curious as to where Johnny is working today!
Hi Greg:
ReplyDeleteI just watched the Sports Nation video and the guy Colin was really enjoying IWB. So much so that he used it to vote for himself. We all say, "Lovin' our Job much!!!" --- LOL. Thanks for sharing this funny video.

Here is Johnny's website address, http://www.johnnylee.net/. It says he lives in Washington state now.
ReplyDeleteAs a huge sports fan myself, I watch Sports Nation on a regular basis. I never noticed until I read your post that they use a IWB. The Johnny Lee presentation was great!!
