Fine Tech in the Classroom

I finally used my eBeam with my students today.  Mind you – I teach 4th grade gifted in an urban school – so they can be easily impressed.  I hooked up my laptop and projector and connected the eBeam – magic!!!  First, I had a tour set up on Google Earth (which none of them had ever seen) and they were so hooked.  When I went up to the board and touched it to start and stop – they wanted to know how I did that.  Then I pulled up a doc and drew on it and changed the color and then highlighted with the stylus – it is so cool.  I have not used a whiteboard before – we have none in our school -so this was new for all us.  I have a lot to learn still on operating this but —- Kudos to eBeam.
