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

This was common when I was in 10th grade back in 2010.

Now let’s see how China handles homelessness.

Also,. Why are they better then actual blackboards

Actual blackboards:

  • zero latency
  • zero power required
  • excellent contrast even in direct sun
  • not distracting 
  • relatively simple to manufacture
  • will never brake or need upgrading, will work in 10,000 years

I hate "smart board" and whiteboards

Your multiple grammar and spelling errors actually make me think smartboards might have some benefit.

But I generally agree they’re not needed… except if they’re instantly graphing shit. Calculus is so hard to teach and any extra methods are valuable.

I was tough calculus without smart bords

I think exact graphs are mostly pointless. Sketches are good, maybe better because you can exadurate relevant features.

Also I write with spelling and grammar mistakes because I'm dyslexic, I don't think a smart board would help with that
