Hi, Julie,
I'm getting ready to go walk a 5K for International Peace with two others from
one of my bookgroups, so don't have much time to answer.
Yes, what you want to do is possible with a Smartboard. Here is a link which
may help:

My son had Smartboards in each classroom for almost his entire elementary
through hs life. Elementary school & Middle school- PTA purchased for each
classroom. HS I believe came from a grant.
For those of you who remember my mentioning my son, you may be amused to know
that he is studying History of Ideas (basically "honors" philosophy) and put
together a Philosophy Salon with one of his hs friends (who just transferred to
Georgetown from a different East Coast school in hopes that he would find more
students intellectually curious as he was disgusted with the kids from his
previous college. He said all they cared about was 'will this look good on my
resume'. He would have done better at the college where my son goes...) They
devised a curriculum, did all the reading, and made selections for those who
would attend with them. It was a lot of fun--and they would like to have a
'reunion' over Winter Break - with maybe a Symposium and a special speaker
(I've written grants for the humanities council and said I'd write one for
them) Any ideas on a neat more 'world philosophy' overview speaker who
wouldn't cost an arm and a leg? They may come up with their own, but I
thought (since I'm writing here anyway...) that I might ask this esteeemed
group!
Let us know how it goes, please, Julie!
Best,
Marlena Boggs
What I urgently need to know about Smartboards is if they interface with files
across OS's, if files on my laptop can be pulled up on them. �I am using a text
which I don't want the students to have to purchase because the use is spotty,
and I want to scan a few pages that have color illustrations and throw them up
on the smartboard -- color copies of such pages would cost me an arm & a leg
and I don't really want to have to go through that much color ink. �The
smartboard seemed the optimal solution, IF it'll do it -- I'm walking in to
the classroom on Tuesday and trying to pull my act together at the last
minute, only just having gotten a class roster and room assignment this week.
