[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this tech mode and having 3 screens in the classroom is weird. And oh, replacing the Promethean boards by Boxlights even in the music room is making things so difficult for the teachers as the speakers are of poor quality. Both my children  are saying that the sound of the audio is distorted and even when the volume is at maximum, the music can barely be heard. Kids and teachers are getting frustrated. [/quote]

They replaced the Promethean board because the contract was up more than 5yrs ago and the boards used a old proprietary technology that did not allow interaction with a lot of mother tools now available.[/quote]

So why haven't they gotten rid of the old Promethean boards yet? It's so weird how they just put the new devices in front of the old disconnected ones.[/quote]
And they put Promethean boards in front of chalk boards! The horror!

MCPS should spend even more money to remove the prometheans and chalk boards.[/quote]

I'm not sure I understand the point of your comment. So when we replace or upgrade technology and infrastructure, you think it's a best practice to leave the old stuff where it is and just layer the new stuff on top of or in front it so the room looks cluttered?

This looks good to you? You don't see a waste of space and resources?[/quote]
