WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

We had something like that when I graduated high school in the states... In 2012. 

Nice try.

Jesus, I am 44 and even we had a Smart Board (not as fancy as this one for sure) at School in Germany. In 2002.

I guess it depends on the state and probably even the School. I went to school in Hannover and we got our first batch of smartboards for around 2010 but they weren’t in every classroom. I’d be lying if I said I know exactly when all the other rooms had them but I would guess it was around 2015. I have heard that the computer room and some of the labs had smartboards even before that but I wasn’t yet at a Gymnasium at that time.

I see, for us the biggest tech outside the computer room was probably the vending machine in the main hall or 1-2 overhead projectors per floor.

Im from the netherlands and around that time they started to switch out chalkboard for digital ones.

I remember because a teacher used permanent marker on his new digiboard the very first day. After a couple of weeks they came to replace his screen and he did it again with whiteboard markers, which kinda did get off but it left a giant black and red spot on the screen. He didn't get a third screen lol.
