I have just had one demonstrated to me in a newly built Canberra school and I was greatly impressed and I am not an IT buff. The school currently had one between each two rooms - they are pretty expensive here as yet, but no doubt prices will come down. It was a kindergarten and the applications seemed endles and highly productive. They are predicting they will be in every Australian classroom in the next decade. I could see many creatuive ways of using them from Kinder through tertiary. Yes, I was an immediately converted fan! We are experimenting with a few here in Tasmania but money will be the difficulty.
