Check out SMART workshops near you - many local districts hold workshops that are free or under $50 for an entire day of workshops from teachers. In Illinois, you may want to keep your eyes on notices from Champaign Schools, Valley View Schools in Romeoville, and Lake County Schools in Hainesville, IL for their SMART Users Group Conferences. I've presented at all of them and they are FABULOUS!
