I went on a classroom tour at Princeton. I was there for a confrence of Librarians. On the tour there was construction happening in all the classrooms.
Princeton removed all their white boards and replaced them with black boards. Reason the professors kept using permanent markers on them and the person in-charge replaced all of them that summer. (2007)
- bpyne 11y agoOur professors used markers on our smart boards. Very expensive mistakes.
- marak830 11y agoOuch, i use one of those at work, i shudder to think the shitstprm id start if i did that.
- LgWoodenBadger 11y agoAll you have to do is trace over the permanent marker with a dry-erase marker, and then erase. Comes off as if it was all dry-erase ink. Works on a variety of surfaces (I removed permanent marker from a stainless steel coffee mug that I inherited using this technique)
- gabeio 11y agoThis works amazingly well! I had accidentally left a black sharpie inside a pants pocket of mine, when it hit the dryer it burst from the heat and managed to be fairly evenly distributed inside the white dryer. Using a dry-erase marker it all came off! (I would not suggest trying it on anything that isn't a "shiny" surface ie: un-treated wood, cloth, etc.)
- selestify 11y agoIf it were software, this would definitely have merited a bug report.
- baldfat 11y agoIt gets old when you have 30+ boards that you have to do that with. They cleaned them they were just sick of having to clean them off.
- wldcordeiro 11y agoI always found that blackboards were easier to read, there's a better contrast between the writing and the board and they're less prone to glare unlike whiteboards.
