Interactive Whiteboards

I think these are a really cool idea that they came up with to get the students to interact with learning.  When I was in elementary school, we got to use the plastic overheads and it always hurt our eyes because it was always so bright when looking at it to edit what we were learning.  This way you can have no barriers in between you to teach or learn.  You dont have to have so many different gadgets to get this working either.  There are free programs to use if you do have an interactive whiteboard.  you can get on the internet when you are using it without having to stop and go to a computer.  The nice thing is you have everything digital so you can get away from having to make copies for everyone in the classroom and just have it posted on the board.  It's easy enough that the students can use it right along side you.  You can have 2 students working on the interactive white board at the same time even which is really cool.
