It must suck to be at a public school, because public schools are too poor to afford Smart Boards, amirite?

My school has smartboards. Heck, it has smartboards in the music department. Though none of us can figure out why. We also have some of the highest taxes ever though :(

Same... Do you live in Canada? One of the first smart boards were installed in our math teachers room... He hates technology it just gathers dust ( literally there is like so much dust on it) while he uses his good old trusty chalk board and 5 year old chalk board eraser...

Yeah, our school has a smart board in every room and the teachers either don't use it properly or don't use it at all. It's really a waste since most teachers use ELMO.

I would hate to be at a Private school... no freedom! Plus, my school has smartboards... they're really not that amazing!

Lol, you should try my school's freedom. We get a free period and there's no teachers telling us where to go. It's pretty chill.

Yes, because of course you can measure how good your education is by whether or not you have Smartboards.

My public school has Smartboards. But they're really difficult to use and annoying, I'd rather have straight up white boards.

I go to a public school. We have a smart board in every room but the math rooms. The math rooms have projectors and tablet laptops for the teachers. I hate our school for this because 1/2 of them are broken due to the fact that they were so expensive, the schoolboard let go all but one of the Computer technicians. We have at least 6 computer rooms in our school.

My school had smart boards...some public schools have a horrible lack of funding though. Especially now with the "Race to the Top" policy which inevitably means that charter schools will receive more funding than public schools, since everything is performance based

I don't know what those are :(

Technology doesn't increase grade point averages. If anything it's just crutch for shitty teachers to lean on.

Actually, they're a lot easier to use. Go ahead and take the time to look down a few comments to see what "Starlight_dragon" had to say.

Okay, my university doesn't even use smart boards. They're really not all that impressive.

My school decided to be "modern" and phased out smart boards. We use 3M Machines now. They're smart boards with projectors that connect to the teacher's conputer and document camera and are installed on the actual whiteboard. Personally, I don't see what was wrong with smart boards...

I'm going to go against the flow here and say that I had smartboards in a public school... but I actually thought they were really useful. With regular whiteboards, you had to worry about the pen running out, wiping it down every few minutes, and you couldn't save things. With a smartboard the pen almost always worked, you could just press to go onto a new page, and you could save all the notes. Seriously, those things are the shit.

Smart Boards suck dick, but my school has them. They aren't really something to brag about..

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Actually, yeah, they are something to brag about. Seeing that they're both a projector AND a whiteboard makes it all the better. Prove me wrong.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's much better to have a projector and white board, since smart boards have a lot of technical difficulties involved like randomly turning off, not being oriented, and not loading stuff.

Never ever forever never had a problem with smart boards at my school.
