How do you use interactive/sMART boards in your classrooms?

More specifically, what can you do with a smart board that you can't do with a traditional projector or whiteboard?

I work with some community youth programs and recently saw this video about how to create a low budget smart board. I'm super excited to try it out and add a little variety to our lessons and games, but I'm not really sure how to integrate it. My college was all chalkboards, and my only experience with smartboards was in workplaces where nobody really knew how to work them. Obviously not all of the smartboard's functionality will transfer over to my wiimote-creation, but I'm still curious to see a) how smartboards get used most often and b) if you all think they are worth the cost.

Thanks!
