The TeamBoard

TeamBoard is an advanced presentation, training and communication tool, effective for use with both immediate and remote audience. The TeamBoard can be mounted on a wall or on a stand and also comes in a smaller portable version.

Used as an electronic whiteboard, TeamBoard enables your computer to capture whatever you write and draw on it. Partnered with a Data Projector, TeamBoard acts as an interactive touch screen. Its dynamic, interactive capabilities allow you to train, teach and make presentations without ever having to return to your computer. With TeamBoard, present PowerPoint slide shows, annotate during presentations and smoothly and successfully conduct Video and Data conferences.

Use the TeamBoard Draw application to capture all notes and drawings created on the TeamBoard. TeamBoard Draw offers a sharp image with “ink-like” lines as a result of its high resolution controller and advanced line-smoothing features. Users also have a variety of pen widths to choose from. All notes and drawings are automatically backed up by the AutoSave feature at configurable intervals.

TeamBoard’s surface becomes an effective touch-sensitive screen when use with your Data Projector. This interactive touchscreen transforms your fingertip into a mouse, allowing you to touch icons and display changes while maintaining your audience’s attention on you and the TeamBoard at the same time.

Communication with TeamBoard is easy. Participants are able to connect to your computer, view your TeamBoard from anywhere a network is available and actively participate in presentations. TeamBoard is designed to interface with T.120 data conference applications like Windows Net Meeting, but can also be used with more traditional video conference equipment. Your remote viewers see everything you do, as all your TeamBoard actions appear on their remote monitors and television screens.

The introduction of "Webquest".

A WebQuest is a learning activity used by educators. During this activity learners read, analyze, and synthesize information using the World Wide Web. Webquests were invented by Bernie Dodge and Tom March at San Diego State University in 1995.

According to Dodge's original publication a WebQuest is "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing"

Learners typically complete WebQuests as cooperative groups. Each learner within a group can be given a "role," or specific area to research. WebQuests may take the form of role-playing scenarios, where students take on the personas of professional researchers or historical figures.

WebQuests, are a great tool for teachers to use in their classroom. A teacher can search for WebQuests on a particular topic or they can develop their own using a web editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Dreamweaver. This tool allows learners to complete various task using other Cognitive tools (e.g. Inspiration, MS Word, PowerPoint, Access, Excel, and Publisher). A WebQuest is a great way to integrate technology into your classroom.

Finally WebQuests do not have to be developed as a true web site. They may be developed and implemented using lower threshold (less demanding) technologies, (e.g. they may be saved as a word document on a local computer).

The following is one of the example that you can link. Then you'll know exactly what the concrete Webquest is.
