When you were at school...

[Redway]

Did you use chalkboard, whiteboard or interactive whiteboard ... or was it a bit of both/all three?

[MTVN]

Whiteboard, interactive ones had started coming into use in my last 3 or 4 years of school though

[Doogle]

Primary school was about 50% interactive whiteboard 50% whiteboard

Secondary school has been about 10% whiteboard 90% look at the computer screen on a projector and take notes or something (I don't count that as interactive because it isn't)

So option 4?

[InOne]

Chalk in Primary School and white in Grammar School

[RichardG]

All the way through primary school was chalkboards, but the past 5 years of high school has all been whiteboard + interactive whiteboard (there's one of each in every classroom).

[Redway]

Chalk in Primary School and white in Grammar School

You went to Grammar School...?

[Princess]

Chalkboard and whiteboard depending on the classroom mainly, we didn't ever have interactive whiteboard.

[Jordan.]

Interactive whiteboards were added when I was in about year 5 of primary. Before then it was mainly whiteboards and sometimes chalk (with the older teachers)

[Apple202]

I voted interactive but we had whiteboard til like year 4

[Vicky.]

[InOne]

You went to Grammar School...?

It was called that but it wasn't actually one LOL It used to be and it just kept the name. My parents didn't pay or anything.

[Redway]

Ah right. Probably wouldn't want to go to a grammar school anyway. All full of stuck-up snobs lol

[nicole_burks]

We used a whiteboard/chalkboard in elementary school, whiteboard mostly in middle/high and sometimes even a projector :shrug:

[AnnieK]

Chalkboards (although they were called blackboards). Teachers used to loved throwing the wooden duster thing at us when we were talking etc. the most technical thing we had was an ohp!

[Niall]

In Primary School we had plain whiteboards till year 6 when smartboards suddenly appeared in every classroom after the summer. The teachers didn't use them loads but they were there.

We've had smartboards all the way through Secondary school/Sixth Form. The teachers use them all the time for powerpoints, videos and all that.

I would've voted all three but I've never been in a classroom with a blackboard before.

[Sam:)]

Up until 1st class was blackboards, then Whiteboards until 5th class, interactive in 6th.. In secondary most classrooms just have whiteboards and projectors, only about 5 rooms have the interactive boards. We don't really use boards anyway most of the time its powerpoints and notes etc.

[AnnieK]

Rude.... :joker: I went to grammar school and am neither stuck up nor a snob I'll have you know :joker: only joking ....I got a scholarship but there were plenty of those types there who had money so thought they were a cut above. To be honest though we had one of the biggest drug problems of the schools in the area as a lot of people had money so they bought drugs

[Redway]

I hear a lot of faith schools are still using blackboards these days.

Yeah, the ones with loads of money tend to feel superior and above everyone else. There's one grammar school near where I live and you see sixth form students driving to college in all these fancy cars and everything.

[Jamie585]

never had a chalkboard, occasionally a whiteboard, but most of the time an Interactive whiteboard!

Chalkboard... cos I'm old. :)

[Niamh.]

Chalkboard, my kids use the interactive whiteboards though

[Jessica.]

I had chalk boards in the three primary schools that I went to until I was like 10 and they started getting white boards then and in secondary school there was a mixture of chalk and whiteboards, they just started getting interactive ones in like my last two years of secondary school. So I've had all three basically.

[Me. I Am Salman]

in primary school interactive boards came about yr 5
in secondary they used both interactive and white
and my college is so poor they use a projector on a normal white board D:

[Josy]

[Ammi]

..they're just basically large whiteboards, which the laptop screen is projected onto..we've had them for around 7 or so years now...but we're panning on changing over to ipads instead...a lot of schools are..technology...there's just no stopping it.....understanding it is a bit more complicated though...

Liar, when you were in school they used stone tablets.

Crickey...iPads??? When I was at school we had a few bbc computers on trollies that got wheeled in to whichever class needed it. It was a big deal when we got a computer room. I feel so old :bawling:
