News from the exhibitor floor
InFocus
I spoke to the InFocus rep about the color problem (reds look black and yellows look green) with the new IN26+EP projectors we bought. She didn't really have an answer.
Mimio
Mimio (interactive white board) has a new pen. It has two buttons on it to control the program from the pen. It now uses a AA battery instead of a special battery, and has a Teflon tip that won't scratch the white board. I'm excited.

According to them, they offer "a free educational program that introduces K-5 students to the basic principles of copyright and respect for intellectual property through communication skills." This sounds worth looking into. Contact Jennifer O'Reilly at 202-223-2400 or email Jennifer@theESA.com.
Moodle
I picked up some information on this open source program for course management. Many schools are using it as an alternative for Blackboard.
GenevaLogic http://genevalogic.com/
This is a classroom management software that they claim is similar to DyKnow which is being considered for the middle school science classroom. Cindy and I will have to look into it.

I am excited to hear about the new Mimio pen! I hope you are having (did have) a great time at the conference. Nothing could possibly be better than Camp Swivel, though!
