“Webcam on a stick” for live streaming of paper-based graphic recording to groups of 15 people.
Here’s how it works:
1. You use the medium you are comfortable with (paper and markers).
2. A webcam puts a live video image from the paper onto the screen of your computer.
3. The free one month trial Gotomeeting software transmits that live video image to the group.
4. Group audio is free via Gotomeeting VOIP.
You can see how two 8 1/2 x 11 pages fit nicely into the frame. And then when you fill up the right hand page, everything just shifts left, oldest out of frame, and the new page is on right. Note that this small jpg doesn’t in any way do justice to the 1600×1200 resolution of the webcam; click here or on the image to see larger version. Be sure and stretch your browser out side ways to accomodate.

BTW, the webcam-on-a-stick setup also provides a couple of ways to record your imagery as animation:
1. Gotomeeting (30 day free trial) used to netcast has a “record” feature (PC only)
2. The Evocam software records as well (15 day free trial)
3. For Mac users, QuickTime X on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has a record whole screen feature
