“I spent eight years of my life telling people you didn’t need a whiteboard in the classroom anymore,” Collins said. “Teachers rebelled against that. We thought it was a training issue, and that if they had the right training they wouldn’t use the whiteboard. But it wasn’t training… it was a use issue. Teachers just wanted to pick up a marker and write on a board, and you can’t do this with technology.” These teachers weren’t stubborn or resistant to technology. They were open to new tools and ideas. But they wanted a technology that worked for their needs.
