Actually, there's a trend moving more and more towards whiteboards and
markers, I think.
The board in the math classroom I spent the most time in in my high
school was green. The ones I remember at UT were black. I think I
remember reading that you could make a blackboard by taking a regular
ol' board and buying special blackboard paint and painting the board
with it. My boss bought sheets of shiny countertop material and screwed
them into the wall and used those as whiteboards; it worked reasonably
well, although you had to clean them with glass cleaner once a month or
so to get rid of the mark "ghosts".
Would you read on a kitchen counter? You wouldn't have to lie down,
sitting up would probably be OK.
