We have normal Hitachi projectors and the Mimio modules.  We have USB connections to the Mimio but I suggest you get wireless ones with the new pen that has just some out. (They are better than the original ones)

The ones here are by Hitachi and apparently they're bringing out Mac compatible software for them (North Geelong is a Mac school), but I haven't seen it yet.  If you want to find out more contact 52789399 and ask for the Technical Captain of IT here at the school.
