Take a look at how eBeam products might work for your specific needs.

Primary – A third grade teacher
uses the playback feature in Scrapbook to teach her students how to write in cursive. She breaks each letter down to its most basic strokes, and then plays them back at half speed for her students to follow along on their own papers. At the end of the lesson, she can e-mail this file to the parents of students who may need a little extra help with all those loops!

Secondary – A biology teacher
uses the exclusive layers feature in Interact 1.1 to show students the different systems that make up the human body. By downloading the free eBeam software on her home computer, she is able to setup the lesson beforehand and bring a copy of it with her to class. Opening the file, she can reveal one by one the skeletal, muscle, and other systems, and then display them all at the same time to see how they create a whole person.

Trade School – A culinary teacher
at a local vocational school has a desk at the front of the classroom like most teachers, but unlike most teachers next to that desk is a stove with gas flames. Since most interactive whiteboards have a delicate surface, he is only allowed a regular whiteboard to work on. eBeam Whiteboard, however, attaches to a standard whiteboard and is small enough to tuck safely in the upper corner of the board out of harm’s way. He can now provide his students with printed copies of the whiteboard notes after class.

A large university - a Psychology professor
lectures to a group of 300 students once a week. He makes notes on a whiteboard with eBeam Whiteboard that is then displayed on larger screens so students in the back can see. At the end of the session, he e-mails a copy of these notes to his Teaching Assistants, who then go through the lecture page-by-page in smaller discussion groups and add to them as the students ask questions and make their own points.

Business School – An advertising professor
holds a single class in two locations using the free eBeam Meeting server and a conference phone. Everything he writes on the whiteboard in his classroom is sent over the Internet to the remote classroom in real time and displayed through a projector, so students don’t miss a pitch. The professor can also show his students an actual brainstorming session he and his colleagues had had using an eBeam at the agency. He can replay it stroke-by-stoke and show them the beginnings of a real ad campaign.
