<font>We have organised a demonstration of a new IWB at Westall in
our Physics room. I was going to just run this with our staff but
thought to invite others in the area who might be interested in getting
their hands onto an installed system in a real school environment. </font><font>It
is an Australian made product using a widescreen short-throw lens onto
a traditional, hard ceramic surface. It uses an optical (not pressure sensitive) based sensor
system. </font><font>Bring along your laptop as it should work without any preinstalled software
(Windows, Mac OSX or even Ubuntu Linux Desktop) just plug and play.<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font>Date: Wednesday 19th of November from 4pm to 6pm </font><br>
<font>Location: Westall Secondary - 88 Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South 3169 </font><font>.. <br>

might be a good chance for some of you to research an interactive
technology across the curriculum whilst enjoying some light
refreshments (kindly supplied by DIB).<br>
<br>
If anybody is curious, I hope to get a chance to show off the Wii mote
setup that I made that works with a Wii game controller and a digital
projector for only $40. <br>
<br>
Very cool :-)<br>
