On the Technology in the Classroom Survey [Faculty Newsletter, Vol. X, No. 4] - the results are predictable.

Blackboards allow for:

· Passion!: You can pound the board for emphasis! The best teachers have passion.

· Human Interaction!: As a lecturer I can "sculpt" my lecture with different width lines and color of chalk.

· Infinite Room!: I have a huge playing field.

· Reliability!: Ever see a blackboard light go out? You can ALWAYS get chalk or erasers from next door!
