Yes, but some of us old fashioned folks still teach in real classrooms. I used to like chalkboards. Now I carry around my own box of markers and I like the whiteboard. I project my ppts onto the whiteboard and then I can scribble all over them. I don't want whatever I have preplanned to go onto my slides to be the be-all and end-all of what I have to transmit. And I don't think doing it verbally is always best.
I especially use the whiteboard this way when teaching the biopsych stuff in intro. I scribble all over brain diagrams drawing in parts and naming them, etc. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology University of San Diego 5998 Alcala Park San Diego, CA 92110 619-260-4006 [email protected] ---- Original message ---- >Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 08:57:52 -0400 >From: [email protected] >Subject: [tips] Blackboard vs Whiteboard >To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" ><[email protected]> > > > > Most of our whiteboards hang unused.
