Which do you guys prefer, and why? I like blackboards, as I find dry-erase markers tend to run out of ink rather quickly.
Smartboards?Greg Bernhardt said:Why no option for Smartboards?
Ha!... Hahaha. You are funny. Your avatar image is funny too, I like it.Monique said:All you need is a magic drawing board:

When I lived in Taiwan, the boards in our classrooms were green as well, but we still referred them as blackboard (黑板).Psinter said:By the way, where I come from I've never seen blackboards. They are green here.

EDIT: Holy Crud! Well, they cost thousands of dollars to begin with! You need hardware and software.
How the hell is he doing that? All through my school days, including college, it was blackboards, and not one of my teachers ever did anything like this.montadhar said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=watch?v=l789l6np-qA
You cannot do that on a whiteboard! Still a fan of whiteboards though.
Oh NO! :rofl: Now I know where my guy went to work!BobG said:In a class I took, they have a whiteboard, plus a white projection screen that can be lowered down in front of the whiteboard for slide presentations.
Seeing as how there were a lot of electrical circuit diagrams in the slide presentation, the plan was to project the diagrams directly onto the whiteboard and make annotations on the board as he discussed the circuit.
Problem is, he forgot to raise the projection screen first and wound up making his annotations on the projection screen instead of the whiteboard.
Dry Erase markers don't erase from projection screens. :rofl:
Same thing happens on some chalkboards - probably really low quality ones.GabDX said:Blackboard by far. I don't think I have ever seen a whiteboard without stuff permanently written on it.
We didn't have inkwells, but we did use "cartridge pens" which used a plastic vial of liquid ink and a fountain-pen type nib. All southpaws that I knew, including me when I wrote with my left, used the "hook" method wherein you curl your wrist around from the top and actually do the writing from the right side of the line. I've since quit doing that due to better ink technology, but can't match the penmanship that I had with that technique.anorlunda said:If you are left handed like me, your hand often drags over what you just wrote. On whiteboards that smears the text, blackens my hand and makes the text near impossible to read.
I tried that and got a "This Video Does Not Exist" message. :(montadhar said:
For small marks-Ben Niehoff said:On whiteboards, however, if the markers get old, they may leave permanent marks that cannot be erased (at least, not without special solvents that never seem to be readily available).

Blackboards and whiteboards are both used for writing and displaying information in a scientific setting, but there are a few key differences. Blackboards are typically made of slate or painted wood and use chalk to write on, while whiteboards are made of a glossy white surface and use dry-erase markers. Blackboards are also larger and more durable, while whiteboards are easier to clean and maintain.
This ultimately depends on personal preference and the specific needs of the presentation. Blackboards are better for writing equations and diagrams by hand, while whiteboards are better for displaying pre-made slides or graphics. Some scientists also prefer the tactile experience of writing on a blackboard.
Yes, there have been several studies comparing the use of blackboards and whiteboards in teaching and presenting scientific concepts. Some studies have found that students retain information better when it is presented on a blackboard, while others have found no significant difference between the two. Ultimately, the effectiveness of either tool depends on the teaching style and content being presented.
Yes, both blackboards and whiteboards can be used for interactive learning. With blackboards, students can participate in solving problems or drawing diagrams by writing on the board. Whiteboards also allow for interactive learning through the use of markers and the ability to easily erase and revise information.
While both blackboards and whiteboards have some environmental impact, whiteboards are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly. This is because they do not require chalk, which can produce dust and contribute to air pollution. Additionally, whiteboards can be used with non-toxic dry-erase markers, while chalk may contain harmful chemicals. However, both blackboards and whiteboards can be reused and recycled, making them both environmentally friendly options.
