RE: chalkboard anyone?

[H. Gelpi]

I always felt the same way towards dry erase boards but have recently found them very helpful when using (old fashioned) transparencies against the dry erase board.  When I use the board as the background for the transparency, I’m able to use the markers to underline, make extra points, shoot off arrows and add ideas.  I get so excited when I use this method, that yesterday, I accidentally wrote on the transparency itself and now I can’t erase it.    I think it actually enhances the learning process.  Anyway, that’s my two-bits.   Haydee Gelpi Broward Community College DHHS/FOH Florida     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 12:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: chalkboard anyone?   Hello, I always use my chalkboard along with video and overheads (at the very beginning of the semester.) I detest the dry erase boards because the markers are an additional thing to remember every class, they are always being taken by other faculty or students ( I hear that they can be "huffed") and it is very easy to mistakenly write on them with permanent marker, which makes the administrative staff temporarily homicidal towards one.
