I agree but will attempt to confirm this with my co-teachers who use IWBs.
Great blog post by Lisa Nielsen reminding me yet again that education does not need to be expensive and 'budget heavy'. Web 2.0 and a decent connection to the Internet along with wise choices for tools can transform a school.
for beginning teaching innovatively: poll everywhere, Etherpad, Projector Only, video/audio conferencing, etc.

The Tool: Reading Level Check in Word and Google Docs
Both Google Docs and Microsoft Word provide three indicators of the reading level of the document you're creating. They will each calculate for you the Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, and the Automatic Readability Index. The Tool: ScreenJelly and Screentoaster 
ScreenJelly and Screentoaster record your screen activity with your voice for FREE so you can spread it instantly in any format you'd like with one click of a mouse. Use it to quickly share cool apps or software tips, report a bug, or just show stuff you like. To start recording, click on the red button. No need to install or download anything! Teachers can use this to record short lessons or tutorials for their students, or better yet, let their students record the tutorials for each other. Screenjelly, which comes from the the team that created ScreenToaster, is touted as being the simplest two use and has a three-minute limit. ScreenToaster has a few more bells and whistles and no such limit.
interesting - free tools, "avoid" use of interactive whiteboard!!!
