IPEVO IW2 Wireless Interactive Whiteboard System. Teach from Home, Play at Home, Short Pen, Model Number: 5-876-1-01-00

Fantastic item! Fantastic item! I Recommend it for all current and new teachers, student teachers too, I am currently working to finish my teaching program, at the University of Southern California. The current school where I am finishing my student teaching service, does not have smartboards or any form of interactive technology, this is something that most higher level schools have implemented in their school sites. Being that I value education and new technology usage, and integrating it into our schools, I decided to search for some interactive technology that would turn any whiteboard into an interactive smart board like system. In searching for this technology I found out about the IPEVO interactive smartboard. At first, I was thinking that that low price meant that I was going to get a low quality item… BUT ! WOW! This item should be worth more than its $149 asking price, the interactive system works really well. The students at my student teaching site were impress and were really surprise to see it working, some even stated that it was “magic” that was making me write on the whiteboard without using markers. ☺ I already had a few faculty members asking me where I bought it and what’s the name of my interactive equipment? This IPEVO has created something that should help lots of schools serving low income communities.PROS: works like a smartboard, costs less, easy to use, easily engages students, $149 vs $3000 smartboard is no brainer!, small, portable, easy to install, no need to install or destroy any walls to installCONS: requires time to get use to the pen if left handed ( I am), practice is needed to get use to the annotator program, Shadows do interfere with the RF signal, calibration can be tricky ( finding the “sweet” spot is required)In all! I highly recommend this product to any teacher, senior teacher, and student teacher. Student teachers should buy it as soon as they take a look at their student teaching site and if their site does not have a smartboard.

Impossible to calibrate when your classroom projector isn't mounted to the ceiling! Doesn't work with PowerPoint presentations. Unfortunately, I purchased this at the end of the school year and once fall came around and I could try the pen with students it just doesn't work. My students were so excited to help me get this pen working. I missed the return date, only a month. I really tried to get this to work but it just wouldn't calibrate. We never got a chance to use it. What a waste of educational money. I really like to return it and get something that will work. I was hoping since this is an Amazon product there would be a better return policy. Educational funds don't come along very often.

Great product, the issue of light hampering the device from working to its best capacity is the only reason I am giving a 4 star for accuracy.Works great in a darkened room but has some accuracy issues if there is no much light. Makes it a bit challenging at times for persons in the Caribbean teaching during the day.Other than that, it’s the best teaching aid I have bought in a while

So for the purpose of supporting this product, I did like it. It did install easy. It is mega easy to calibrate and it does what it says it does. The problem I had was not with the product itself.. Once I got our projector in and I hooked this pen system up to the laptop, and then the projector to the laptop; I realized I had too many components in the equation. Wires every where for the projector, the camera forbthe pen, the laptop. It was a bit much. Then I started thinking if I took the pen out of the equation and did the projector on a whiteboard. I use regular dry erase pens, it accomplishes the same thing. This pen would work far better in a school setting and a wonderful option for schools who cannot afford the smartboards, as you have the ability to print the work done as well as save it to the laptop. This is an excellent feature. But it was just not what I was looking for. If it was, it is worth every penny.

What a cool product when it works. I purchased to use at school and there is a software glitch that my IT department is still try’s to fugure out. Right now it is an expensive clicker. It we can get the other features to work it will be great.
