I want share with you a software that allow
to make free hand annotation on the desktop
very useful for educational purposes and
used with a wiimote whiteboard

http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/

Ardesia enables you to make colored free-hand annotations on your computer screen, record it and share on the network.

This is especially useful when making presentations, to highlight things or point out things of interest.

The tool facilitates the online presentations and demos showing in real time your computer screen to anyone in the network.

Ardesia is XInput-Aware, so if you have a mouse, a graphic tablet, a touch screen, a wiimote whiteboard or a commercial whiteboard;

you can draw lines with different strength, select color, erase things and draw arrows.

You can free-hand draw geometrical shapes using the shape recognizer, insert text with the keyboard and highlight screen areas.

You can draw upon the desktop or select an image as background.

Great tutorial but would have much better if the background music was eliminated. The “loud” music makes your voice very difficult to understand.
