There were things on the news recently about new building openings in South Point and Cabell-Midland [?]. Those wall-sized touch computer screens replacing blackboards are amazing. The advances in technology are mind-boggling from when my kids were in school [25 yrs ago] let alone from when I was a student.
I was not allowed to take a 1-semester "personal typing" course as a freshman in high school - had to be at least a sophomore. [I never had time for it in my schedule after freshman year, and as a result, I am a slow, poor self-taught typist today.] Now they start "keyboarding" in what? about the 3rd grade?
It is a little sad to see the Ironton High School building walls come down; but anyone who thinks that a 60-yr-old building can be adequately retro-fitted to accomodate all these technological advances is dreaming.
Blessings on all communities that bit the bullet and passed the levies.

caglewis ...

They're called "Smartboards." Remarkable technology. Unfortunately, this is just starting to flow into southeastern Ohio schools. Tremendous tool.
