Hi Richard,

I've not used the promethean brand, but we have the Smartboard brand installed in classroom I usually teach in (which by the way is Augustana College in Rock Island IL, so I enjoyed your comments about SIU....). I teach in the education department.

I've used my Rev projects with the smartboard, but not the proprietary software. To click and drag, you just touch the object and drag it with your finger.... works great. So, with your Location program, for example, drag the buildings into place would work well. A finger touch is a click, a sliding of your finger is a drag.

We have one school district in the area that uses the promethean brand and our elementary student teachers have found it easy to use.

take care,
randy hengst

Hey Ho,

I am thinking of digging extremely deeply in my ragged pockets and
investing in an Interactive WhiteBoard.

I have trawled the internet and found all sorts of info.

However: Promethean:

http://www.prometheanworld.com/index.php

have a 'special offer' for Bulgaria of an IWB for 700 Euros (which
by all I have found is very good value).

Now I am looking for information from anyone who has:

A. Experience of IWBs (I don't know why, but this reminds me
   of ICBMs - Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles).

B. Experience of programming Runtime Revolution stuff that is
   "IWB-friendly".

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
