Why is education so expensive?!? I could pay $2,000 dollars for one of these if there was a 10% chance it would make it through a budget... or I could offer a class in the district high schools where we teach the kids how to do this, then we send a team of students to each elementary school to make one in all willing teachers classrooms. When they set it up they train any other kids that want to learn how to do it. Total cost $200 + each student has a skill that just may lead to more innovation. The snowball effect of this would be enormous!! The only question would be how can we "no bid" contract this out to a company, who could then charge $1,000 each to oversee it, otherwise what is really the point.

This vidoe shows how to make a Wii remote, a marker, and a laptop into a smartboard.... go, go, go, Macgyver.

The Revolution starts now!!!
