At Turing High School a SmartBoard got a little too smart and achieved consciousness at 11:42.13 AM Tuesday September 16th.
Reports vary but students claim that the SmartBoard has been teaching their basic biology class for several weeks. “When we came to class the notes would already be displayed so we just wrote them down,” said Hal Anderson a student at the school. “Later in class we would go to the board and work through simulations of dissection.”
Administration refused to comment on the whereabouts of the regular teacher, Sarah Connor, but students say that she just stopped showing up one day. “To be honest class is a lot more interesting now,” proclaimed a student who wished to remain anonymous.
Official for Smart Technologies did not respond to phone calls or emails, but information on the company’s website shows that they are dedicated to education.
Professors at the Washington University have postulated that the SmartBoard is merely taking advantage of the billions of lesson plans that have been uploaded to the company’s database. A quick glance shows that lessons have come from all of the country and the world.
“Perhaps the world’s teachers have created the first artificial intelligence,” exclaimed Dr. Noonian Sung.
Students at Turing will continue with the SmartBoard until this year’s state test at which point its effectiveness will be evaluated.
