[quote=Anonymous]The problem is not the interactive boards themselves, they can be very helpful in a variety of ways and it is definitely far more efficient to have content on a slideshow than have the children have to wait while the teacher slowly writes words out on a blackboard or whiteboard. Opposing that seems just reflexively anti-technology to me. I agree that showing videos of read-aloud books is inferior to actually reading them in person and should be kept to a minimum (but teachers in here have given good reasons for why it makes sense to use them occasionally, and I don't think doing it occasionally is a problem.) Also for everyone saying "you should just pick a different book," I think teachers are often told what books they are supposed to cover based on the curriculum? So if they are told they are supposed to teach a specific book that day and can't access it, they really have limited options besides showing a video of someone reading it...[/quote]
