Digital learning

I read that the UK has the greatest usage of digital blackboards in the world, with some 7 school classes out of 10 boasting the new technology. The equivalent in the US is 4 out of ten, and Canada 3.

The odd thing is I read it in an Italian newspaper, today's Corriere della Sera. I suppose that with an election having taken place last year, the new government doesn't want to give the old one credit for the investment.

Perhaps digital blackboards aren't a very good idea, I don't know, but one gets the feeling the UK isn't too good at blowing its own trumpet.
