Who hasn't heard of it yet? A great tool for students all ages (well, K-8 maybe).

You haven't used it? Scared to start it in your class?

No reason to postpone, help is out there!

Glogster is keen in integrating with standards, they look for examples

and each of the exemplary Glogster is set against the NETS standards.

Interactive whiteboard (Macbook and iPad)

If you would want to use an iPad as an interactive whiteboard, you need to pair up your iPad and your Mac laptop. They make a great couple!
You might want to try "Splashtop", which includes "streaming" software for your Macbook, in combination with an iPad app.

Integrated in the iPad app is the ability to remotely control your computer (which is connected to a classroom projector).
The App gives you the extra interactive annotation possibilities, and screenshots can be made at any given moment.

Who said they wanted this expensive interactive whiteboard . . .?
