Chalkboards make way for interactive screens

“Chalkboards make way for interactive screens”

The chalkboard, that classic icon of education, is fading into history. Chances are growing that your child is looking at a 6-foot interactive computer screen in class instead of a blackboard. The screens are quickly becoming the norm at both public and private schools, despite a $4,000 to $5,000 price for a single setup.
For teachers, that means no more unwieldy chalkboard compasses, or lessons erased by the cleanup crew, or pulldown maps that don’t roll up right. It also means new ways of teaching the subject matter. The boards allow teachers to take advantage of anything on the Internet - from flythroughs of the Grand Canyon to microscopic views of meteorite chips.
“This is large, it’s colorful, it talks to them,” said kindergarten teacher Sue Gusmano, who was using an interactive board for a phonics lesson at St. Joseph's School in Croton Falls. The board is basically a computer screen on wheels. It works with a keyboard, mouse or touch-screen function.
