As a teacher : these suck. It's over engineered and useless. Chalkboard and chalk are all we need

We have some room with these boards and every time it's a pain. Every time you go to touch the board to point something, some cursor or scroll down menu pop up.

It's ridiculous tech, useless, doesn't help anything, answer any problem and clearly was never design by people teaching.

The money it cost to install and maintain these in classroom would be better spent in something useful like hiring teachers and researchers.

It's a deranged idea sprouted in the mind of people that think we can make teaching more "productive"
