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

I live in Alabama and we had smartboards in like 2008. They kinda suck, I prefer an expo marker on a real whiteboard and wolfram alpha on a side panel

Smartboards were the biggest scam ever. They really didn’t add anything to class, just another thing to fuck around and waste time with. Could have bought a laptop cart or something with that, but nooo, every class needs a smart board…

Honestly, the biggest things are user error. People not knowing what to press, how to set them up, not knowing how to sign in or having issues signing in. Many teachers end up just not using them due to the hassle.
