Chalkboard

Technology is developing and growing over the years in our society into new and improved resources. Schools originally started to only use the common chalkboard, whiteboard, or a projector screen to introduce and develop all of the content throughout the curriculum. If students were lucky they got to come up to the board to practice problems in front of the class, but besides that, the educator just usually takes notes on the board for the students to copy down in their notebooks. As years went…

St. Mary’s Catholic School in Big Rapids Michigan, 44% of the recorded students said they would be excited if their teacher used smart boards. Students surveyed also said that it would help them focus because it’s not as boring as the traditional chalkboard or whiteboards. Smart boards have also be encouraged by the No Child Left Behind Act (Min and Siegel, 39). Many studies conducted in America, United Kingdom, and Australia, proclaim an increase in enthusiasm and student involvement when using…

stuck on hold with customer service. But no matter how different our musical tastes, I bet there are at least /some/ sounds we can agree on. Namely, the worst, most skin-crawling, ear-covering, cringe-inducing ones ... like oh, fingernails on a chalkboard. [pic:Aldeasycampamentos ] Gah. Just saying it gives me the willies. And it turns out that there’s a good scientific reason why certain sounds set most people’s teeth on edge: human ears are extra sensitive to a particular range of…

look. With no blank spaces on the wall, this classroom really minimizes a large space by embellishing it with different design elements of texture, color, and visuals. From the video you can see the teacher has a monthly calendar, a section on the chalkboard for the day’s objectives, a section for…

Bedstraw spat out the hobnob. Oats, oats, disgusting oats! How could anyone eat a biscuit made from oats, when there were plenty more to choose from in the larder, like custard creams, or even a wafer. But hobnobs? They tasted like baked porridge, cold and hard, with bitty bits of oats which he found hard chew with his gums. After all, he was only six months old and he had no teeth. When he sank back in the deep, soft cushion, he screwed up his face, pinched his nose, held on to his nappy for…

Theatrical performances of stories are usually very different and more dramatic than the original story because of many elements of the theatre production. This statement is no different for the theatre production of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The lighting, sets, and sound effects really give a scarier mood to the story. The dark and ominous lighting really set the mood during the scene of the performance when the Headless Horseman was chasing Ichabod. The dark and scary lighting and then…

education. Education could not be where it is today without technology. I remember when I started going to school teachers in kindergarten would use chalkboards then in fourth grade they moved to the Elmo projectors and now teachers almost always use power point and the internet. I honestly do not remember the last time I saw a teacher or professor use a chalkboard. Additionally, technology has also helped when it comes to what we use to learn. People in todays society now have access to…

preschool because I was fond of the pictures and I really enjoyed listening to my teacher read out loud as we followed along in the book. In the first grade, my class would always begin by copying the notes written on the chalkboard. My classmates and I would sit in front of the chalkboard and just write in our notebooks word for word on what was the board. I was very curious about what the purpose of it when I couldn’t even understand it. My hand would eventually hurt from copying the notes…

At the corner of Walker St. and Crescent St., across the road from Walker Jr. High School, passed La Palma Hospital, lies the largest campus of Anaheim Union High School District, John F. Kennedy (JFK) High School. From the parking lot into the school, I see Kennedy’s quote, painted on the edge of the entrance, stating, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Many other quotes by graduating classes were painted on the edge of the hallway overheads with…

(Dewar, 2008). This particular feature of the playground is also handicap accessible for children who cannot function at the same level of physical development as others their age. The chalkboard that acts as a third wall to the playhouse under the playground is also accessible to children with disabilities. The chalkboard engages children’s creative minds in artistic expression or linguistic practice. Children’s fine motor development grows by writing and drawing. They can enhance their…
