The promethean boards are actually just a big touchpad, like on a laptop. So basically it is a mouse you can project on. All you have to do is plug in a wireless mouse. That way you can write as well. If you hide the mouse good enough you'll get away with it. just remember:
THE BAORD IS JUST A MOUSE

OK.. I know that would work and probably fool the teachers for a while...but i just got a copy of the Activboards software and drivers... so technically couldent i just connect to the board with my laptops wireless or bluetooth???

Can you get away with bringing a laptop to school or are you at a tech school? Also, does the board have bluetooth?

well i cant really bring a laptop...i can but that would be really obvieous... i was still thinking about building a small computer.....and the board dose have bluetooth......
If they're anything like our ones you can use a Sony Ericsson phone to interface with them Via bluetooth and control the movements, I did this a lot in I.T.

I think I know what your talking about. Here it's called an Interwrite board. What exactly do you want to do with the touch screen or how would it be used?

Sounds fun! that would be great for April Fool's day. The only hard part would be getting the two to sync together. I dont think the main board the teacher uses was meant to be able to do that. You might have to go another route and sync it with the computer. Though you would have to do that manually to override her board. Good luck though, the forums are a good place to find out what you need to do it!
