Where blackboards turn white and the students get microphones - Susan Gvozdas, Baltimore Sun
Those curious about what cutting-edge education looks like should take a look at Nantucket Elementary School in Crofton. The $24.6 million school, which opens Wednesday, is one of the most technologically advanced in Anne Arundel County. Every teacher will have a wearable microphone that broadcasts his or her voice around the classroom. Students will be able to ask questions, talk-show style, with a portable microphone. Each classroom is outfitted with an interactive whiteboard, a modern-day overhead projector that displays images from the teacher's computer on a large touch screen. Teachers can activate the board by touching it with an electronic pen and access websites, open up lesson plans and write over images. Mobile pads will let them control the screen from anywhere in the room.
