Goodbye, chalkboards; school districts add new technology
0724tech3
The new interactive audio-visual projection system at Friendship Road Elementary allows anyone to write on the “screen” using a special stylus that can change colors.
The days of the chalkboard are over in Gainesville and Hall County. Students in both districts are using technology such as interactive whiteboards to engage with coursework, and both districts are working to provide even more technological teaching tools. In Gainesville, wireless access points are being installed in every classroom to ensure students can stay connected as opportunities to use technology as a teaching tool expand.
