Is This the Future of the Blackboard

Well, these videos on Hitachi’s multi-touch whiteboard certainly dovetail with our recent WhyNot?Forum focused on Education.

While the whole multi-touch technology phenomenon is worth one whole future blog post in itself, the geek in me just couldn’t help but post this ASAP. Couple that with my educator’s hat and I for one am already thinking of the myriad applications of this to the classroom.

Imagine whole lesson plans taught in entirely new ways. Imagine teachers transitioning from the boring textbook to full-blown multimedia. Imagine students coming to the screen and actively interacting with the lesson material. Imagine learning being appreciated and absorbed in a more engaging manner.

It’s like iPhone coming to school!
