BRIEF HISTORY OF BOARDS IN CLASSROOMS

Before you start saying that this is not appropriate and that it won’t help, you need to look up the history of these different boards and when they were used for teaching. For instance, before the 1800’s there were no boards so the teachers had to hand individual handheld slates to the students, this is when the Chalkboard was introduced.


As time moved on, the chalkboard was adopted more in different schools until the invention of the whiteboard that we know of today. The white board was invented in 1960 and was adopted widely till the 1990’s when the interactive whiteboard was introduced. Although they are yet to be widely adopted in many schools, these boards have helped provide an improvement in the teaching and learning experience.
