The History and Development Of the Blackboard By: Ashley Samarin
The Original Chalk Board • The Chalk board entered the education world in 1801 revolutionizing how teachers taught. • In early education students also had their own slate to write on and interact independently with the class. • This board allowed students to come and share their ideas on the board and at times was used a tool to aid in students punishment. • Throughout the years this board as been updated and now has dustless chalk as well as being magnetic. • This simple, allergenic and very much outdated board made sharing information with a whole class visually possible.
The White Board • It was not until the 1980’s and 1990’s that the chalk board had been replaced with the White Board or Dry Erase Board. • This new boardhasseemed to be more efficient, allowing teachers to write with greater ease. • The update to the whiteboard has also been making these boards magnetic and in slate type boards, modeling education and student interaction from early education. • This updated board provides/d students and teachers with a visual of what they are learning. • This white, dry erase board has now been outdated by a board that has the capabilities of a computer and allows for greater interaction in the classroom that it has begun revolutionizing education.
The SmartBoard • What is a SmartBoard: An interactive white board that is touch sensitive and allows for manipulative for students learning to be used through technology. • These interactive boards have provided teachers with the ability to bring interactive programs and displays to their students that they wouldn’t have been able to without this technology. • Implementing technology into the classroom has huge benefits for our students and their learning. • Studies have demonstrated that through the use of the interactive Smartboard students overall achievement has grown. This technology has also assisted students of all academic levels and abilities. • The development of this product began in the 1990’s and has carried to today and is continually advancing itself.
