I absolutely agree that there are a number of solutions to the issues / criteria I raise. Hopefully asking the questions up front ensures that each teacher / team / project group arranges for the tool that will best support their classroom activities.

First, you said "The finger is easier, but maybe too easy...anytime you touch some interactive whiteboards, things will start moving around." The SMARTBoard Interactive Whiteboard has a "locking" feature to avoid this common "issue". A little education and no more issue. Second, you make a reference to the install height. I propose that if you utilize the Height Adjustable Wall Mount, albeit a price tag is attached, will overcome most height challenges. In addition, ADA prevents from installing to low. Finally, you allude to Shadows and the associated challenges. I submit that the best solution to shadow reduction is to move towards a "short throw" or a newer, again albeit,more expensive "ultra short throw" solution. Great article. Just thought I'd share some insight for you. I've been working with the SMART product for a couple of years. I used to work for SMART Technologies. I now work for a reseller selling SMART in Illinois. Best of luck to you. Lee Baird I wanted to quickly respond to a couple of your points.
