[Moodle] tablet or slab computing

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I have heard of some interesting reports about using a swag of cheaper
Waicom tablets with a shared software whiteboard and conventional projection
system.

There are also some very cool open source software whiteboards that you
could consider using in the classroom including http://dimdim.com/ and
http://hiveboard.sourceforge.net .. or even some free web based ones such as
http://www.imaginationcubed.com

This tertiary group is even trying to integrate a shared whiteboard with
Second Life and Moodle! Looks like something that schools like ours could
easy setup and run with :-)
