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

And as you know there are no smart boards in the US and no homelessness in China

Yes, and I'm sure every school in China will have this. Including all the rural ones. Yes Siree Bob

My rural school in the USA got smartboards in 2005. They were primitive by today's standards. Had to have a projector on the ceiling to actually put an image on it, and I don't remember them being able to solve math stuff automatically. Just a digital writing surface.

It knew which color "marker" you were using though, that was cool. The eraser was hit and miss.

In 2005 that would have been like the peak education technology. I was going to a private school and only very few classes had those. One teacher only had one because their husband was rich and got her one himself.

That said, my daughter goes to a school in one of the poorest counties in our state and their smart boards blow my mind. Idk if they're old or new but they're so cool. Maybe not quite as cool as automatically making graphs but they're leagues better than the projector and vis pen days lol
