OK. We switched to whiteboards without any consultation with anyone. I do not like them, mostly for environmental reasons. I believe they are an environmental NIGHTMARE. The boards themselves don't last (whereas green/blackboards last indefinitely). The pens are full of chemicals, plastic, fumes (I can't use them without dizziness and headaches). They are wasteful. If you are worried about chalk getting into stuff, use those covers they have now. Wipe/wash your hands (which you should do anyway).They may be the future, but I don't think for long as we get more and more aware of the dangers of plastic and chemicals. Marte Hi Everyone,
I am seeking your opinions, but mostly your experience and knowledge of research around the usage of greenboards (blackboards) vs whiteboards. My VP Academic has asked me to prepare a proposal to replace all existing blackboards with whiteboards and I would like to include data in that document. I would also like to know what other institutions have done around this issue. All I can say here is that already, I am looking at very strong opinions on the part of faculty (who all seem to lean towards the greenboards). Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
