Even though interactive whiteboards suck here's a cool project for senior primary or junior secondary students (and all teachers). A wii remote costs about NZ$90 and the components for a IR pen are about NZ$10 - so for NZ$100 (plus a data projector) you can make your own interactive whiteboard.

You need this software:
Johnny Lee's site for PC wii remote whiteboard software.
Uwe Schmidt's site for Mac wii remote whiteboard software.
How to make a IR pen for a wii remote interactive whiteboard:
A movie by students at Auckland Point School, Nelson, NZ.
Note that there is a step missing in this video. The second terminal of the switch is soldered to the side of the switch. The + terminal of the battery touches the side of the switch to complete the circuit once the pen is assembled.
This is really good one, i appreciate you sharing this.
