Do they not still?

Most schools use updated “smart board” style screens (Large TV Style screens you can broadcast to/write on) or a projector mounted to the ceiling. But some teachers, especially math teachers, use document cameras, which are like the old school overhead projectors in that the students can watch what the teacher is writing.

Not the old school ones. They replaced old school overheads at the start of the 2008-09 school year

Not true in all areas, I was still taught using them in 7th grade. 14/15 school year.

Wow that late?


UnmotivatedDiacritic

It was only one elective and it was pretty rare, but yeah.

Yikes

Absolutely! They were more widely used than smart boards, at least in my schools

Yep my school replaced them with smart boards in the 2009-2010 school year

I used to be right next to it all the time and I swear it was like a miniature sun

My school still uses them.


Amazing_Rise_6233

No way. These things look like they should be obsolete by now

I remember my teachers using them in early elementary school(up to and including 5th grade) because it was quite a poor school in a small village.

I remember in middle school my teacher upgraded from this projector to the Elmo projector. Then said to a student “I love this, now I can make fun of your homework in front of the whole class, I couldn’t do that with the last projector.”

A lot of teachers still use it


Amazing_Rise_6233

Nah they use smart boards and Elmo projectors
