A teacher is frustrated because her school district is restricting teacher tech access by banning personal devices on the teacher network and replacing Apple TVs with less flexible Promethean boards, hindering her ability to teach while moving around the classroom.

The new district-provided technology (Promethean board and Chromebook) lacks the mobility and flexibility of the previous Apple ecosystem, preventing teachers from annotating and controlling presentations while moving around the room.
