On thing that I never realized is that chalk is much better over longer distances in larger classrooms.
When I took organic chemistry in a lecture hall that seated 200, the professor used larger chalk and you could easily see it in the entire hall. A regular marker would be too fine to see. I don't think that you could have a larger marker as the ink reservoir would be large and unwieldy. Plus it would probably drain rather quickly.
