PROJECTOR AND CHALKBOARD

Prepared by: Henry Retanan

CHALKBOARD
 it is also called blackboard or
greenboard. A surface to write
on.
 It is a surface on which
markings made with chalk are
visible.
Practices for Effective use of
Chalkboard
1. Write clearly and legibly on the board.
2. It help if you have a hard copy of your
chalkboard diagram or routine.
3. Don’t crowd your notes on the board.
4. Make use of colored chalk to highlight key
points.
5. Do not turn your back to your class while you are
writing on the chalkboard.
Practices for Effective use of
Chalkboard

6. Start to write from the left side of the board

going to right.
7. Provides the lines for your board.
8. Look at your board work from all corners of
the room to test if students from all sides of
the room can read your board work.
9. If there is a glare on the chalkboard at certain
times of the day, use the curtain of the
window.
Practices for Effective use of
Chalkboard
10. Mount the chalkboard a little concave
from left to write to avoid glare for the
students benefits.
11.If you need to have a board work in
advance for tomorrow’s use, write
“please save” and cover it with a curtain.
12. Make full use of the chalkboard.
Chalkboard Techniques by James
W. Brown (1969)
A.Sharpen your chalk to get good lines.
B.Stand with your elbow high. Move along as you
write.
C.Use dots as “aiming points”. These keeps writing
level.
D.Make all writing or printing between 2 and 4 inches
high for legibility.
E.Use soft chalkso that it can be erased easily.
OVERHEAD PROJECTOR

• A projector that projects on to a screen or surface

the image on a transparency placed over the
projector’s light source, with the image redirected
by an overhead mirror.
ADVANTAGES OF OVERHEAD PROJECTOR by
Brown

• It is simple to operate.
• Instructor has the complete control of sequence
, timing, and manipulation of these material.
• Instructor has facing the whole class, keeping
the contact instead of turning around and write.
• Images can be enlarge for all the audience to
see.
• Instructor may point, or some indication to
facilitate communication
ADVANTAGES OF OVERHEAD PROJECTOR by
Brown

• The projection surface is large allowing the teacher

to show his/her prepared transparencies on the
screen.
• Easy to create materials use in the overhead
projector.
• There is an increasing number of high-quality
commercial transparencies.
 Overhead Projector Techniques
by James W. Brown (1969)

– Show pictures and diagrams, using pointer on the transparency

to direct attention to a detail.
– Use felt pen or wax-based pencil to add details during
projection.
– Control the rate of presenting information by covering a
transparency with a sheet of paper : This is known as
progressive disclosure technique.
– Place additional transparency sheets as overlays on base
transparency separate process and complex ideas into
elements and present them in step-by-step order..
Overhead Projector Techniques
by James W. Brown (1969)

– Show three dimensional objects from the stage of the

projector.
– Move overlays back and forth to rearrange elements of
diagrams.
– Simulate motions on parts of the transparency by using
polarized light.
– Simultaneously project on adjacent screen other visual
materials usually slides or motion pictures.
 Other

on the effective use

of OHP:

– Stand off to one side of the OHP while you face the
students.
– face the students when you talk not the screen.
– place the OHP to your right, if you are right handed, and
left if you are left handed.
– place the OHP on the table low enough so that it does not
black you or the screen.
– tilted the top of the screen towards OHP to prevent
keystone effect.
 Other

on the effective use

of OHP:

– AVOID mistake of including too much detail on each

image.
– AVOID large tables of figures. Come up with graphic
presentation.
– DON’T read the text on your slide.
– AVOID too much text.
– Text must readable from a far..
BROWN (1969) ENUMERATES EFFECTIVE
PRACTICES AND EXPERIENCES FROM OTHERS:
PRIMARY GRADES
Simple objects (i.e. keys, leaves, cut out paper shapes)
can be placed directly on the projector.
ENGLISH COMPOSITION LESSONS
Students themes or writing exercises can be reproduce
in films by means of the heat or photocopy process.
 ARITHMETIC
Blank sheets of acetate and grease pencils can be given
to selected students.
GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY
Two and three dimensional diagrams can be built up
gradually with carefully prepared transparencies involving
color and separate overlays.
 P.E AND TRAINING
Plays and game procedures may be analyzed.
HOMEROOM ACTIVITIES
The secretary can use a cellophane roll (accompanying most
projectors) or blank acetate sheets.
PRIMARY READING CLASS
A picture transfer transparency can be made from a magazine
picture.
 ART CLASS
A teacher can sketch on clear plastic with a felt pen.
SCIENCE
Iron fillings dusted on a clearly plastic sheet over a permanent
magnet can be projected clearly to illustrate lines of force.
SOCIAL STUDIES
All types of maps can be enlarged after accurate but easy
preparation. Overlays show key facts about particular regions.
QUIZ
1.Give at least two Chalkboard
Techniques
2. Give at least three ADVANTAGES OF
OVERHEAD PROJECTOR
