What better alternatives are there?
“Smart” boards — expensive, and high drawing latency makes writing on them uncomfortable. Also, text is hard to read from a distance. (They may be better for accessibility.)
Dry-erase boards — boards and markers are expensive. Markers generate a lot of waste.
Chalk — cheap, naturally occurring (and safe to dispose of) material. Easy to read at long distances.

- tylerhou 8y agoI don't know about you, but I always get marker on my hands when I use dry erase markers, and chalk is a hell of a lot easier to clean off than ink. Also, don't put your fingernails on the chalkboard...?
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoBut ink doesn't dry and erode your skin. I hate the feel of chalk.
