Indeed it does. Let's start with paying the teachers more instead of assuming they should pay out of pocket, then, we can have districts pay for the teaching supplies... Oh wait, that all costs tax dollars? Never mind, carry on.
Edit: Also, I had teachers who I know for a fact had wacom tablets available, as they taught the photography/graphics course, who still chose to use pencil and paper. I have to assume therefore that there is some benefit to using pencil and paper over a wacom. This being the case, why on earth would they spend more money?
- ohyeshedid 6y agoIt's entirely possible they weren't comfortable using a tablet input, or even wanting to learn how to use one. I've seen this firsthand, numerous times in more numerous careers. Either way, it's important to teach children to use technology so they aren't lost when entering higher education or career environments that will use said technology.
- Shared404 6y agoThis teacher spent more than three years convincing the district to purchase the wacom tablets, and pushed everyone in the photography class to use them as much as possible. I completely agree, but for the purposes of a teacher using a tool to display something to the class, if paper works better, paper works better.
