YouTube – Wiimote Whiteboard vs. Commercial Electronic Boards.
I visited Tepuke High School today and was really impressed by the setup for their wiimote iwb’s I look forward to building my own this week. Will post some photos of the setup later, If only my n73 bluetooth would work with osx.
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the link to the comparison. It was worth watching. We have been operating the Wii system at Selwyn Ridge in a couple of classrooms for the last couple of terms. We feel that we are still developing a good picture of the positives and minus of interactive boards and would enjoy hearing how others are actually using the technology to enhance learning. We have also come up with a much simpler pen (although construction your own is fun), using already on the market LED torches.
I will be interested to see how you go with your wii board.

Hi Marcus
I will let you know how we go withe the wiimote board. We have 12 Smartboards here already but can’t relly justify any more where as this seems like a realistic option for some of the other staff that would like some of the functionality.
Not sure if you found the forum last night but here are the links to them.

Sorry I missed yr connection this afternoon. Wiimote is very cool.
Also can you show me the iTouch remote at ULearn- added functionality to my new toy- sounds cool.
Hi,
I think it’s worth trying out Smoothboard where BoonJin has modified Johnny Lee’s idea to a more user-friendly wiimote whiteboard, featuring annotation features and autoconnect mode.
