Cheap Technology

As school budgets continue to be tight (and possibly shrink), finding inexpensive ways to incorporate 'digital native' technology connections is becoming a very important undertaking. Today I had the opportunity to work with Craig Parker, our science teacher and technology experimenter. He brought down a Wii remote, a dongle and a pen and in about 5 minutes had a whiteboard set up on my screen. The technology cost is around $50, but the possibilities with it are endless. With such a simple set up, it looks to be an excellent tool that the kids will take to...I'm interested in trying it!
