Hi Folks -

We're considering purchasing a Smart Board or eBeam for our classroom.  We've not found much in the way of reviews, or folks who have used this technology, to help make a decision on what to buy.

We would also like an Elmo-type projector for showing documents in the classroom.  Ideally, we would have a system where we could project documents, and also attach a microscope such that one can see small fossils, etc, projected onto the screen.  However, I understand that an "all-in-one" system tends to project neither documents or specimens well, and the best thing to do is get two separate units?

Lots of sales people, not a lot of in-the-trenches reviews.  Any ideas you all would have are greatly appreciated!

Thank You - Carlyn Buckler
