 * AirSketch (free version exists) ||  || "I like Air Sketch to use as wireless slate allowing the teacher to move about the classroom and draw and annotate documents which are then projected on the teachers laptop or desktop via a web page. I use it in combination with Final Cut Server and DropBox to markup student projects in critique. It also makes it easy to assess students and apply my rubrics when grading.
