<DIV>I thought it was a big upgrade when I got to go from a blackboard to a
whiteboard. And that wasn’t an electronic whiteboard, just one that let us
use erasable dry markers rather than chalk. I still have my chalk
chuck. I use it in the shop to make timing marks easier to see.</DIV>

<P>These days, a teacher, especially at the college level, darn near needs an
associate's degree in Electrical Technology to operate all the classroom
electronics. <BR></P>

<P>I had enough trouble, 10 years back, as an adjunct instructor, just dealing
with the electronic whiteboard in a small computer-lab classroom. <BR></P>

work in IT at University of Iowa, so for me this work from home has been
pretty much business as usual so I'm very lucky in that regard. I work closely
with the folks that maintain the classrooms (due to podium technology) and
they are equipping far more rooms to keep the class sizes down. In addition
some will attend the classroom while others participate online.</DIV>
