As I was checking out at a store, I noticed these little packaged boxes with "Boogie Board" written on it. (okay... OKAY... I admit it... I fell victim to the oldest trick of getting people to "notice" things for sale: Putting it near the check-out counter....) Anyway, in this case I consider it to have been advantageous, not just for the store owner, but for me, the consumer. Basically, a "Boogie Board" is about a 1/4 of an inch thick board a little bigger than a 5X7 photograph. It comes with a stylus, a screen cleaning cloth, and a clip-on for the stylus. Also, it features an ion battery that never needs replacing. The way it works is very simple. You write something on it, and then you push a button, a light flashes, and you have a "clean slate." Possible uses in the classroom quickly came to my mind, as I was standing there at the check-out counter. So, what do I do? I buy it. The more I got to thinking...
