Lesson 14 & 15 Ed Tech

The document discusses the history and replacement of chalkboards in classrooms. It notes that while blackboards were traditionally used, green boards became more common in the 1960s as they were more durable and easier on the eyes. By the 1980s, the term "chalkboard" became more used regardless of color. Whiteboards began replacing chalkboards in the 1990s as they were easier to use and eliminated chalk dust. While chalkboards are still used, newer schools now prefer whiteboards for their ease of use and cleanliness. The document suggests chalkboards will still have uses due to their efficiency, but whiteboards are increasingly common.

Lesson 14: Maximizing the Use of Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard

1. We always hear the word “blackboard” when we all see is green chalkboard in the
classroom. Can you find out why?

 Blackboard classroom history remained essentially the same until the 1960s with
schools teachers using slate blackboards like their predecessors. Then the “green board”
was introduced, which was a steel plate coated with a porcelain-based enamel. This was
considered to be an improvement because chalk powder didn’t show as well when.

 The term “chalkboard” became more common when color of the board was no longer
black. In the 1980s the whiteboard, or dry erase board, began to become common and
by the mid-1990s 21% of American schools were using them.

2. Which color is more user – friendly – the blackboard or the green board?

 Green color was considered to be more pleasing and easier on the eyes than black. It
was also lighter and more durable than fragile slate, making it more economical and
easier to ship.

3. These chalkboards are slowly being replaced by magnetic white board. Can you tell
why?
 Although chalkboards are still common in schools, especially in older schools, newer
schools today tend to use the dry-erase board for its ease of use and because it
eliminates chalk dust contamination in the classroom and avoids the need to have
student clean erasers, a common chore in earlier days. Some critics, however, argue
that the slickness of the whiteboard makes it harder for young students to use it when
writing and that the slight resistance of the traditional blackboard is easier. The
invention of dust-free chalk also makes blackboards more attractive to some.

 Whatever its incarnation, it’s clear that the blackboard, because of its low-tech
efficiency, will remain a staple of the classroom and the boardroom for the foreseeable
future.
Lesson 15: Project – Based Learning & Multimedia: What It Is?

Make your own proposals on how to help solve the present crisis that the world is facing today:
The COVID – 19 Pandemic.

We all wanted to become a hero in our own way. Some may think that to become a
hero we must help others by saving other people’s life, give them food to eat, money or shelter.
But what if we are not capable of doing so because of our limited resources, and we also
needed some assistance from the government. Can we still help to solve the present crisis? The
answer is YES.

In what way? Simple, by simply following the governments rules regarding this
Enhancement Community Quarantine. If others will do the same we and the government will
surely bit these pandemic much earlier. Sad to say that there are still many Filipino does not
agree with this.
