What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

Review of SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard 680 - whiteboard

boards for writing on then wiping clean

Advantages: saves paper
Disadvantages: none

...The students in my class use white / dry wipe boards to write/draw scribble on to practice pencil control and to do their work on. These white boards are the modern equivalent of a blackboard, a slate. They are useful in saving paper waste. Johnny can draw and correct many pictures on one of these as when the picture/work is finished with it can be wiped of by using an eraser Certainly easier to clean than a chalk board , cleaner no chalk dust making a mess White board pens seem easier for my special needs pupils to write with than standard pens. The non magnetic white boards our students use are about A4 size, they do come in different size some A3 others that are smaller or bigger. Some I have used have a plastic colored frame border around them others do not have any frame edging. Some are magnetic some not. A white board is...

Mammy Can I Go On My Bubby Board Now Preeeze.

Advantages: Saves lugging a double buggy everywhere. Easily detachable and fun for my son!
Disadvantages: Read down sides in op!

...Well my sons almost two and a half now and likes to walk everywhere or rather says he?s going to then ten minutes down the road and he wants a carry. Now this wasn?t to bad when I only had one child but now with a daughter too I had to think of a remedy for the situation. I originally bought a second hand double buggy (I wanted to see if I?d like them before shelling out a wad of dosh on a new one) when I was pregnant with my daughter but after two weeks I found it weighed ton and was very cumbersome getting on and off public transport so I decided I wanted buy a buggy board. I remembered reading about this wonderful invention here on ciao but I?d not seen anybody with one attached to their buggy. I asked about and my cousin said she?d seen a few people with them and they looked okay, she also said that the children on them...

Review of Kiddy Buggy Board

and finally, God created the buggy board......

Advantages: easy to use, Detachable,
Disadvantages: expensive,

.... And off course the total weight of what you have to push forward increased. You need to be in good physical condition to go uphill. But then again, your oldest one can step of the plank and walk. The board is made of a strong plastic, the wheels are made of some kind of rubber/plastic and are plugged into the board with an iron pin. They roll very smoothly. The board connects to the stroller through an adjustable triangular connection piece that fits almost every size of crossbar you find behind strollers. You can simply disconnect the board from this piece whenever the board is not needed, and click it back on when it is. There is a rope that can be put through the bottom of the board for the child to hold on to, but we never used it so far. It seems better and safer for the child to hold on to the stroller while walking. The wheels...

Wii! It's the noise you make when you fall off the board

Advantages: Adds new dimensions to the Wii console
Disadvantages: a bit bulky to store in a small cottage

...What's an old git like you doing with a games console? I was given a WII for Christmas in an attempt to change me from couch potato to Mr Active. I've used it quite a bit and was aware that there are numerous add ons that you can buy for it. Some weeks after receiving the Wii Balance board for my 51st birthday I feel that I can now pen a few well chosen words about it. Experience When I first got it I was in no state to enjoy it. I had just had surgery on my shoulder and was going through the throes of a nasty staphylococcus infection, which meant that I had a temperature of 103 F, was seeing things and sweating profusely. I didn't have the strength to even get it out of the box, let alone step on it. Use A Child I was saved by my eight year old Godson who came in and set it up for me. That first day we set up Wii...

IBM POWER PROCSSOR BOARD.

Advantages: CONFIGURES IN TWO WAYS.
Disadvantages: MIGHT BE COSTLY TO SOME.

...Well this actually awakens your pc by increasing the processing speed of your PC. My previous processor, which is Intel, has actually gone old so I needed some up grade. In terms of recommendations, I will highly recommend this to the fullest because of its processing speed and efficiency. With the 2-way 1.65ghz processor with a 36mb l cache, the processor board is capable of processing perfectly and all right so this is a good alternative if you actually want to upgrade your PC. The cache memory has good memory capacity of 72mb L3 cache. The new processor on the p5-550 allows you to configure in both ways either a 2- way or 4 way system. With the new 1.65ghz processor, there are wide ranges of system storage offerings. As a pc gamer, the new IBM processor board has given me some special entertainment with my games by...

A PEG BOARD WHERE THE EVEN BEADS PEG IT!

Advantages: Bright and colourful; a fun way to learn to count
Disadvantages: Poor design; Falls over easily; Pegs fall out

...As any parent will know, one of the joys of having young children is to see their little faces light up on Christmas morning when they first set eyes on all those brightly wrapped presents, and then proceed to rip them open in anticipation - only to end up playing with the box by the end of the day. Amongst the Santa Sack of delights awaiting my son this Christmas Day morning was an Early Learning Centre Counting Peg Board which I had bought him as a little stocking filler. When I first spotted this in my local Early Learning Centre, it appealed to me straight away. The picture on the front of the box showed a sturdy wooden counting toy which looked well designed, was bright and colourful and would stand the test of time. Alas, it was not to be. The Aim of the Game The Counting Peg Board is not a game...

My experience with Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard

Advantages: worth is price, good results to the end movies
Disadvantages: Hard to install and to operarate.

...I bought the Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard, Installed it my computer, had allot of problem with compatibility and had to run forth and backwards to dealer until it was fixed. After that inconvenience and when it worked, it was pretty complicated and not very user friendly, I'm considered a good computer wizard and it took me some time to understand how to operate it. But in the end when I learned, it gave very good results, it more or less worth is price and is recommended, but take your time to learn deeply first the user manual and all other relevant documents. Otherwise you will suffer the same hell I had in my first day's after purchasing the Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard, but as I said it's Satisfactory product and the end Movies are in very high results....
