Mimio and other things

Today my school had a visit from the trainer for the NZ branch of the Mimio company. I spent an enjoyable hour with her, looking at the latest features of the Mimi interactive whiteboard. I particularly liked the codec that allowed you to embed movie files right into the active notepad page.

BlackBerry storm, please

Gadgets! *drools inappropriately*



There are gadgets I wish I had in RL - like, yeah, that iPhone would be awesome. Or a BlackBerry Storm... doesn't the idea of a BlackBerry with a touch screen fill you with desire?



Then there are gadgets I wish I had for school. I wish I had a whole class set of laptops that I could hand out whenever I wanted to do stuff. I wish I had a wireless keyboard that I could pass round for students to write their answers into a document that I have up on the projector screen. I wish I had a huge digital photoframe that I could use to display my students' work on constant loop in my classroom.



But I'll settle for the BlackBerry.
