Overheads are just a tool. If someone's gonna advocate throwing away all the hammers I hope it's because there are no more nails in the world or because there's a better tool for the job. Is Flanagan referring to digital projectors? Which are absolutely revolutionary but carry so steep a pricetag (+ laptop) it seems a little unfair chiding administrators for not providing them school-wide. Or is he saying that putting up images in front of a class shouldn't be a preoccupation of teachers? Why?
