Whiteboard Tips Presentation

Just wanted to flag up a great initiative by Tom Barrett who has produced a presentation about whiteboards using Google Docs.

Google docs allows a number of users to collaborate on a single document over the internet, which has a great many implications for how we work and share information. You can produce text files, spreadsheets and PowerPoint-style presentations.

The idea behind the Tom's presentation is simple - users are asked to give a tip for using their interactive whiteboard. You can read his thoughts about the presentation here.

Starting with 1 page, the resource has grown amazingly. Currently, there are 31 different tips for using your IWB. Most are general tips and a few are Smartboard specific.

You can see the presentation here. And if you want to add any tips, get in touch with Tom to get access rights and get to work!

Here is an IWB project you may find of interest - http://edusim3d.com - a 3D interactive multi-user whiteboard application.

Thanks Rich. I've had a quick look at the site before but not got any further with it.

Will have to have a proper play with it sometime. Looks interesting!

Thanks for reminding me about Tom's whiteboard presentation. It was fun adding to the presentation and then seeing the result of everyone's input.

Such a cool thing to collaborate on.

Cheers!

Jim
