SMARTBoards for Live, In-Class Blogging?
At TechEd 2006 I attended a demostration of the "computerized blackboard" equipment by a company called SmartBoard. What a completely cool new teaching toy. The entire board is a huge "touchscreen" that is fully integrated with internet access, Word processing, graphics, games, video, audio. Everything. The thing has a hundred uses, but one I'd love to play around with would be "in-class blogging." The whole class could, in essence, write a blog post together (composed online and posted to the web directly from the SmartBoard at the front of the classroom). Of course you could also view any blog or eportfolio instantly in a format that everyone could share. Dear Santa: May I Please have one of these new teaching toys for Christmas?
