to the idiot who...

Dear Idiot,

Classroom design isn't hard. Instructors like to use a variety of modes to communicate with students. Some of us use whiteboards, others use PowerPoint and some of us use both.

Why make me choose between the white board and powerpoint.

Why, why, why??? Putting the huge screen over the whiteboard forces that choice.

Well, it may be expensive -- as the only way I can think of to teach well in that room may require a tablet PC...

ha!

I have that same issue in all of my classrooms! WTF is with that? Are we not allowed to use the screen and the board at the same time?

The Art and Film faculty love the classroom -- it has a huge screen. I'm also sure the screen was really expensive because it is huge.

Frankly, I'd rather teach in one of their art labs if I can use the board and the projector at the same time...
