Schools finally use 10 yr old technology!

Posted By Dana On Thursday, September 10, 2009 @ 07:19 am In school, kids | No Comments

Why is this news? Because AZ Republic ([1] azcentral.com) doesn’t really doesn’t print much else… anyway… this article about the schools (where my kids go) now have [2] SmartBoards. This is a technology available 10 years ago, and deployed to many businesses 6-8 years ago. I guess they finally dropped the price tag down to a reasonable level.

Now teachers can electronically scribble on the PowerPoint slides they made in 1998 and never updated. Isn’t the state of education in America great? *eye roll*
