I found this these stats below interesting and will be using them as part of an
Edusim presentation later this week:

Via: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Integration
Research has been carried out to track the worldwide Interactive Whiteboard
market by Decision Tree Consulting (DTC) -  a worldwide research company
(http://www.dtc-worldwide.com)

    * Interactive Whiteboards continue to be the biggest technology revolution
in classrooms

    * Across the world there are over 750,000 boards installed

    * Over 3 million classrooms are forecast to have Interactive Whiteboards
installed by 2010

    * UK is the biggest market with annual sales of 100k and 300k boards
installed in around 75% of classrooms

Perhaps these interactive whiteboard surfaces are the trojan horses (I know,
poor analogy) for really getting K-12 schools to appreciate the multi-user 3D
virtual environments & Croquet!
