MINOOKA — After lunch some students used to look forward to math class, where the teacher was certain to turn the lights off and use the overhead projector to teach — the perfect opportunity for a nap. But not anymore.
Math teachers at Minooka High School are saying goodbye to loud overhead projectors and messy dry-erase boards and are diving into the future with new interactive computer-based boards.
“It makes writing on the board and overhead projectors obsolete,” said Shawn Capodice, head of the math department.
