The lag is much to great. Writing on those boards is annoying because the line comes approximately 200ms after you draw it. This may not seem much, but it's very disturbing.
I'm really glad you can go back and forth between the boards quickly... Since you can only fit 3 or 4 equations (large enough so everyone can see) on this board.
Please, use a normal blackboard. Students have been learning physics and math for hundreds of years, you don't need to try to use some stupid fancy technology.
@arg13415 are you fucking retarded? Watch the fucking movie again; she has the ability to write on multiple pages (more space than a black board). To top it off, she can save everything as a pdf and send it to her students... try doing that on a chalk board grand pa.
First of all: Just because you have multiple pages saved into your computer doesn't mean you can see them all at once on this comparatively small screen. Have you ever been in a physics lecture room? There are anywhere from 4 to 12 chalkboards depending on the size of the room. They stretch all the way across the front of the classroom/lecture hall.
Second: Professors have notes prepared before they come to class. Mine have always been scanned and uploaded to the internet.
@54740020 *grandpa. ^ ^ and swearing at the old man wont help. the elderly come from an age where eloqeuncy and manners were admired. now if you were to explain your point using logic instead of a temper, more peole may listen. have a most excellent day, good sir.
the issue isn't technology. the issue is that this particular technology isn't significantly better than what we have now, and is especially worse when considering the cost.
the great thing about basic math and physics is that it doesn't require cutting edge technology to learn it. that's why china and kazakhstan are kicking the US's ass in math.
nevertheless, there's always someone trying to sell something that doesn't help much to bloated organizations.

Sorry to break it to you, but technology is the future. If you can't accept that then, I'm sorry, but there's not much more any of us can do for you.
