Hi-tech education

A promethean interactive board. A laptop. An overhead projector. No chalk, blackboard or duster. It just did not seem like a classroom.
There was obviously a lot of razzle and dazzle going on in my son’s Grade 1 class, but I was also hoping that he was learning how to write neatly. If his teacher is not writing on a blackboard how is he going to learn? I was too intimidated to ask, but I’m just not sure hi-tech is always good for our lives. Maybe I’m resisting change. I don’t know. Unlike Facebook, which I’m sure is crap.
