What the Blackboard means to me....

The blackboard seems so simple a reusable writing surface on which you can draw on, originally smooth , thin sheets of slate, held in your hand into something that hung on the wall. It is simple I made my own blackboard for this assignment I went to Menard's and bought chalkboard in a can and a old picture frame and in five minutes I had my very own blackboard.

Simple yes but it is hard to imagine just how it transformed a teacher and students relationship, how it changed education forever, how it changed the way we process information, how it changed the design of a classroom.
