SMART(-ER) Boards

I was on TED.com for maybe an hour watching people share their brilliant ideas and achievements and stumbled across Johnny Lee, a humble researcher. One day he realized what one can create with a simple Wii Remote and some cheap supplies. SMART boards (used in classrooms) are great technological products... but they also cost up to $3,000. Clearly, not every school has those kinds of funds... a teacher of mine actually won a grant in order to buy 1... but could only afford the 1! Johnny Lee has discovered how to make a SMART Board for around 1 Wii Remote ($40) and $10 worth of cheap supplies... $50 compared to $3,000! Imagine every school with the ability to educate their students with a SMART Board! Heeeeeerrree's Johnny:




Amazing.
