Lesson 14

 MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

Chalkboard and overhead projector are very useful tools in a a discussion.Maximizing the use of these tools make them more useful and effective.

There's a trivia on why chalkboards are usually called blackboard. Way back then, chalkboards were painted black and white chalk was used. Then people discovered that green is much more pleasing to the eyes and so they started painting it green. But the term blackboard was already hooked up with the tool.

There's a good side to the OHP. When you use a computer, you usually store your presentation in a flash drive. The downside to this is when it has a virus or your flash drive is not detected by the computer. With the overhead projector, you don't have to worry about these things. Just turn it on, put your transparencies on and viola! you get a presentation.

 Just make sure that you don't use them too because you and your students may become too dependent in these tools.
