School Chalkboard 2005!
"All across the country, chalkboards are being ditched in favor of interactive, computer-driven whiteboards that allow students and teachers to share assignments, surf the web and edit video using their fingers as pens."
A very interesting article all about the new system schools are using as electronic whiteboards featuring interactive tech ^_^ I wish they had this when I was in school. It makes me proud also that you can see the school is using mac systems (that mac part: totally offtopic)
Take a look at whats going on (150,000 schools currently participating):

As someone who will be teaching at an elementary school in the near future, I must say that is freaking awesome.
woah monkey how did you get to the top of the post?
A long story related to the server power outage, and the clock on the server being set to an incorrect time resulting in posts getting out of order due to time differences.Originally Posted by Alice
Big deal. In England we've had interactive digital whiteboards for 2 years now.
I thought you Americans were ahead of the rest of the world, not behind...
Ah, so they have them already. Electronic whiteboards seemed like a good idea that eventually would go mainstream...and it's on the way to becoming mainstream.
It's all a ploy from the government to turn the youth into mindless slaves. They want to take over the world.

Electronic whiteboards rule. Even though teachers have got in trouble after students put porn on the screen.
In England, all mainstream schools have got them already
Technology is making us lazy. Teachers can't even be bothered to write anymore. I can't wait until schools stop teaching people how to write and teach students how to type instead. I would get a kick out of that.
Big Brother is coming; watch out for his teeth. They are sharp.
No.
Yeah we've had them for a while now. The problem is the bulb starts to wear out after a while and costs a small fortune to replace. Otherwise its pretty cool, and theres nothing lazy about it. Its still mainly used for writing via the pen, much in the same way that a white/black board would be used. The only difference is that these are much more versitile.
Word/s.
XD Spiffy. I'm on top.
when did we ever say we were ahead? If anything Japan kicks both our arses :PBig deal. In England we've had interactive digital whiteboards for 2 years now.

England is way far behind other countries for technology, it sucks. As for the electronic whiteboards, I say meh. As long as children learn, then whoever.
Yeah, they've got interactive whiteboards at my old school apparently.
Which, incidently, is the same school that the actor who plays Peter in the new movie remake of 'the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'. *name drops* xD.
