I think that is what you are looking for. Small Plug - I will be going over how Yale used SynchronEyes and SmartBoard (along with TabletPCs) at an upcoming Nercomp Session on Pen Based Learning (http://www.nercomp.org/events/event_single.aspx?id=1702) I think it's important to note that the SmartBoard is really just an oversized HID and, therefore, almost any tool that is designed to work for TabletPCs works in a similar fashion on the SmartBoard (or Sympodium.) Feel free to call me offline if you have questions about using the SmartBoard in class.
