Update on Interactive Wiiboard

I tried my new Wii pen with the projector.  I had as much trouble on the projector screen as I did on my laptop screen.

Then I tried it by just projecting directly onto the whiteboard.  Oh my gosh!  I worked great.  It was much more accurate and picked up the light right away.  The shiny whiteboard must do a better job of reflecting the IR light back to the Wii.  Placing the Wiimote to the side worked much better than right by the hot projector.

The students were as excited as I was.  They were ready to try it out.  I told them I would get activity ready for them, so they could use the interactive Wiiboard to learn.  Now that I have an interactive whiteboard, I have to find activities to use with it.  I downloaded Smartboard’s software since our district owns Smartboards.  I’ve played with it before, but now I need it.  Do you have any suggestions for where to find interactive whiteboard activities for 3rd graders (8 and 9 year olds for you international friends)?
