Oh yeah? I bet I can make an overhead "slide" on the photocopier faster than your average professor can successfully scan in a figure from a book.

That's not what I mean. I'm talking about those little slides for slide projectors, the ones with big rotating cylinders. That's what artists used to (and sometimes still) do with their work to save a picture of it because you can project it to make it large rather than having a small photo of it. And that's what was generally used in art history classes. Plus, a digital image of it is more ecologically friendly than wasting a sheet of plastic.

And TEd, a digital camera image has depth, which distorts the text that would be on the board. Plus, the electronic white boards record directly to an image editing program and some of them even recognize handwriting, which can be directly inserted into a word processor document.

What I don't like is the entire board has staff lines on it. I wish there had been one section on which I could have more easily written script.

yes! I've thought of buying a smaller, plain board, and having it up next to the big one.

Now, if I were super-organized (I'm not), I could put the entire lesson on Sibelius and WordPerfect--show it on the monitor in the music room.

yes, again! though for me it would be Finale and Appleworks...

Sure, Bean, that's true - but using the scanner I can not only make acetate OHP "slides" of colour ophots (from books or anywhwere, but I can also select bits of the photo, leaving out the inappropriate parts of it.

I can also put digital images direct from my camera onto OHP acetates - which includes photos of 200 year-old documents that I have accessed at the Record Office.

Photocopying is great - simple and quick, but it is limited
