I suppose it depends on the presenter and the audience which is best. I try to do as much as possible on the monitors with the projector just being an enlarged version of the screen. When I first saw the interactive whiteboards demonstrated, I thought they took considerable skill and practice (like weather people) to do well. When we can do almost everything with the usual tools. I have been in classes where it was definitely a no-no to turn one's back on the audience to glance at the whiteboard. I have not heard of any FLOSS for Smartboards. Robert </BODY> </HTML>
