We just had a revolt (the professors are revolting!) and made them move all the screens and projectors such that at least one white board in every classroom is usable with the screen down.
They had put he damned things right in the middle so that it screwed up both boards. That had, I suppose, to have taken some thought -- somehow. m Marc Carter Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 12:39 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] Chalkboard vs powerpoint One of the problems I have found is that people who design classrooms must not remember ever having sat in one. I use ppt a lot but I also like to use the white board behind it, if I can--if the white board is properly mounted for such. So I might put up a slide of the brain with a few things drawn in, but then I take it from there, drawing in more stuff or connecting stuff. But all too often the white board and projector screen leave incompatible overlays and surfaces :( i.e., the ppt slide sits lower or higher than the white board and so I'd have to write on the walls. Sigh.
