I struggled to keep up with classwork during my time in school. I managed to compensate by working extra hard after class and by seeking out assistance whenever possible. One of the biggest problems I faced during my time in classrooms was simply trying to understand where a teacher was pointing. They rarely used pointer sticks unless it was for a large map or something akin to that.

Instead, I was left scratching my head trying to understand what exactly was being discussed. I’m no moron, mind you. I can hold my own in terms of academic discussions. So I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I’m not the only one who gets a bit lost in classrooms where teachers are gesturing and pointing at aspects with little regard to a student’s ability to follow along. I remember many times I was left more confused than informed.

Then something changed.

I took an art history course at my college (university to our non-U.S. readers) where the teacher used a laser pointer to point out key elements of a painting, statues, etc. It was instantly easier to understand what key element was being discussed. I didn’t get an A+ in the course but I did manage to get an A in it thanks in part to the newfound ability to focus on things with laser-like focus. See what I did there? Lasers? Anyone? Is this thing on?

Carrying around a laser pointer is a pain in the butt. It needs separate batteries, good ones cost quite a bit of money, and you may lose it.
