If educational publishers would publish content to be iPad ready, can you imagine the power of this type of an interface/”chalkboard of the future” in a professor’s hands? He/she could:

  • Intuitively and efficiently locate an item
  • Drag it over to the main viewing are
  • Enlarge a table of data and then annotate it
  • Quickly shrink a graphic and move it to the side of the screen after discussing it
  • Annotate a photo or a website
  • Send the captured image of what he/she had been displaying and working on to devices that can “hear” that signal
  • Etc. etc. etc.

One part of the board could provide downloadable, discipline-specific templates
