Mysteries of the Whiteboard

In response to last week’s post, we received several questions:

  • What happened to the blackboard?
  • Where is the chalk?
  • What is the white thing in the front of the room and why does it have faint markings on it?

Take heart, it is merely the March of Progress. The blackboard has been replaced by the whiteboard because of a need to reduce dust in multimedia classrooms with their computers, data projector, DVD player, etc. The chalk has been replaced by erasable marker pen, the instrument used to write on the whiteboard. The shadows on the whiteboard are from those who previously used a marker on the whiteboard.

The Community Learning Teacher Video (CLTV) shown below offers suggestions on using the whiteboard more efficiently.
