I can't tell you how often the tech person has to come fix some glitch with the stupid projector and/or smart board. Wish we could just get back to basics. There's no need for all of this tech in the classroom.
Yep. When interactive boards were first rolled out, they were truly interactive and teachers were given lots training on how to create interactive activities with them. However, those are time-consuming to create, and over the past ten years as students got access to computers and iPads that have interactive activities, the boards have (understandably) become basically just computer projectors.
