At High School in the 1980s we had the overhead projectors some of the others mention. Now schools in the UK have interactive white boards connected to a computer. The teacher and pupils can type on the computer and it comes up on the screen or they can touch the screen itself and interact! It's amazing and brilliant for children like my small son with scribing difficulties.<br /><br />But the teacher can't throw the board rubber at people who're not paying attention any more LOL.

I think ours was like a vacuum cleaner attachment that you ran the eraser over. I also knew what your find was. I clearly remember Miss Bows using it in class. We didn't have a music room in elementary school, so she had to push the piano from room to room for music. Oh, the days!

The gadget to draw the music staff brought back some memories too. I haven't seen one of those in a very long time. What a lucky find! <br />My daughter is an art teacher and they use dry erase boards and projectors in the classroom. She also has a new board that she can tack the artwork on. It covers one wall in her room and self-heals when she takes them down..pretty neat. It's kinda like the cutting board I use in sewing.

And about cleaning the erasers, our school didn't have a machine to do the work. We took them outside and pounded them together as well as on the building making designs with the chalk dust. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723072009985414067noreply@blogger.com
