What is the point of this really kids get better tactile use from actually making stuff not "virtually" making stuff.]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
This is what my grandma said when she heard that schools were going to add computer labs in the 90's.]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
@Major4Play No they won't eat lunch on them, but that doesn't mean they are good hand washers. I work at elementary schools and you have to remind kids even 11 and 12 year-olds to go back in the bathroom, flush the toilet, and wash their hands, because you can generally hear when they flush toilets and 9 out of 10 kids probably forget.]]>Feb 11th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
Also, feel free to spank my kid if he misbehaves.

And while I'm at it, Al Gore, can you please stop brainwashing our kids with the "you know something your parents don't know" crap when you think no one is listening. It's hard enough teaching kids that they DON'T know everything as it is. Having a bunch of wide-eyed middle-schoolers in awe of a former VPOTUS feeding them BS in secret is disrespectful to me as a parent.

But look on the brightside...now when they have to put the red circle block in the circle hole and the blue square block in the square hole, it is as easy as dragging and dropping! :)]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
Furthermore, what is wrong with kids accessing technologies in the classroom. These are the ones who were born into the world and the first thing they saw was a computer, whether they owned it or not. I think you are making these kids look as if they are dumb, trust me they aint.

Although, what i have said here may be different to your views, I do agree on one thing: Schools need to be improved and also teachers salaries. Before a child needs to learn there must be a conducive learning environment.]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://mtg.upf.es/reactable/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QflrIK-m4Ts or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cDtWNtQzCE .

This is basically the same thing with some different software.]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
I'm not saying that technology in the classroom is bad but I'd want to see some independent evidence to support its benefit before we spend money on something that is "new and cool".]]>Feb 11th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
Seneca, I liked your comment! How very clever and SMART of you to post it! :o) OK, I guess I'm just being cheesy and going too far with the whole "SMART" thing now! ;o)]]>Mar 14th 2009 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 11th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
On a side note is it wrong I thought those kids were lucky for having such an attractive teacher? :/]]>Feb 11th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/Feb 12th 2009 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/smart-table-now-available-in-north-america-and-uk/
