From my blog:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ - The video details the set up and uses for an interactive whiteboard using a Nintendo Wii remote and an inexpensive LED light.

Public educators have a responsibility to embrace this kind of innovation and move it from the laboratory to the classroom. Why? First, it’s way cheaper than some other interactive whiteboard solutions. Second (and more importantly), this kind of innovation serves as an example of what we hope our students will aspire to in the future. Why not involve them in research and development in the present?

Johnny Chung Lee has made the source code available online, which means testers and developers can work together to shape this technology to fit many different needs. Step right up to the future of educational technology.
