Doug Johnson, a district technology director, posts the of a survey of teachers in his district on their use of smartboards. While acknowledging recent criticism of the devices, he notes:
When it comes to the classroom, I will listen to the teacher long before listening to the pundit."
Generally a good policy, but it鈥檚 worth noting that (beyond Johnson鈥檚 district) teachers鈥� opinions on smartboards are nowhere near uniform. Which raises the question of how much teachers鈥� experiences with them are determined by the strengh of the district鈥檚 implementation.
