Wireless Projectors: Seen & Heard
Someone mentioned Wireless Projectors which go well with tablet PCs if the instructor is moving around the classroom:
Its the AirProjector, an accessory which allows ordinary projectors to be wirelessly enabled, which I thought was worth the mention:

Conference XP: Feet Wet
The day at the lab belongs to conference XP. The 4 missing cameras arrived from Just deals.com, which were ordered for Conf XP.
Also, Tom Bray was in the studio and we met Bob Riddle on a Conference XP meeting. Although we were on Unicast here at SPH, using the reflector set up at Internet2 on S. State St, the videos looked good. There were 4 windows on screen: New York, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico and Ann Arbor. All streaming the media quite well. The latency did not appear as a bother.
