The week I taught a class using only a whiteboard and it worked better than any slideshow

Last month my projector died 10 minutes into a workshop on citing sources. I had 25 college kids staring at me. Grabbed a marker and just started drawing a flowchart of the research process on the whiteboard. Got them to shout out what came next. By the end people were taking photos of the board on their phones. I had that class for 4 days and ended up keeping the projector off the whole week. Has anyone else found that ditching tech actually helps people learn faster?

Man, I love this. Sometimes the simple stuff just works better.
