I teach in a building that is almost 100 years old. It is in
beautiful condition, gleaming hardwood floors, etc. However,
we only have two electrical outlets per classroom with 2
sockets each, and obviously the wiring is very old. If I
were able to get a Smartboard through a grant for my room,
would I even be able to use it? Would the electrical
situation need to be updated? The outlets are not even
located near the current wall of regular whiteboard. I
already have two computers running in my class on one wall
using a powerstrip, and on the other side of the room is my
desk area with my computer and a small fridge plugged in. If
I want to plug anything in, it means using an extension cord
from the area behind my desk, and unplugging my own
computer. Is having a smartboard possible for me, or just a
dream?
