2.Blackboard or Chalkboard-
is a reusable writing surface on which text or drawings are made with sticks of calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate, known, when used for this purpose, as chalk. Chalkboards were originally made of smooth, thin sheets of black or dark gray slate stone. An indispensable material in any classroom – is one of the most familiar and useful visual aids with every teacher.
Design: A chalkboard can simply be a piece of board painted with matte dark paint (usually black or dark green). A more modern variation consists of a coiled sheet of plastic drawn across two parallel rollers, which can be scrolled to create additional writing space while saving what has been written. The highest grade chalkboards are made of a rougher version porcelain enamelled steel (black, green, blue or sometimes other colours).
Advantages & Disadvantages As compared to whiteboards, chalkboards have a variety of advantages: Chalk requires no special care; whiteboard markers must be capped or else they dry out. Chalk is an order of magnitude cheaper than whiteboard markers for a comparable amount of writing. It is easier to draw lines of different weights and thicknesses with chalk than with whiteboard markers. Chalk has a mild smell, whereas whiteboard markers often have a pungent and odor.
Flannel board
is a board that is usually covered in either felt or flannel and propped up on a easel. It is usually used in preschool classes as a storytelling device. is constructed from a study surface covered by felt or another fabric that clings to material. Felt naturally clings to felt, so you can create any objects from felt squares. Characters and images based on stories can be cut from the felt squares and placed on the board during story time. For example, when reading "The Three Little Pigs," you can create felt images of the pigs, their houses and the Big Bad Wolf.
Flannel Board Activities: Using flannel pieces to represent characters from a story, you can place the pieces on the board to represent movement in the setting and interaction between characters. In "The Three Little Pigs," you can move the wolf toward each pig's home as the story progresses. Students can move the characters to retell the story and demonstrate comprehension. On a board with felt alphabet letters, you can ask students to spell simple words or identify letters based on their sounds.
Uses: Teachers often use flannel boards to enhance storytelling. They may use pictures of the characters and other important parts of the story to illustrate it as they read. Flannel boards are also used for "acting out" songs and poems. They can be used to demonstrate science and math concepts to young children, like the life cycle of a frog or butterfly or addition. Flannel boards can also be used in students' center so that the students can manipulate the pieces, providing hands-on learning.
Benefits: They make learning more visual for young students, and the students remember what they have learned better. Flannel boards are more cost-effective than some other classroom aids. They can be used over and over again for a wide variety of activities, and you can easily switch the pieces from activity to activity. It's also easy to make your own flannel board and story pieces.
How to Make a Flannel Board: Making your own flannel board is easy: You'll need plywood or heavy cardboard and a piece of felt or flannel that is big enough to cover the front of the board and wrap around to the back to be attached. Take your piece of plywood or heavy cardboard and cover it in the flannel or felt. Lastly, Attach the material to the back using duct tape, a staple gun or a hot glue gun.
How to Make Flannel Board Pieces You can make flannel board pieces out of paper or felt: The felt pieces can be cut and decorated. They don't need anything on the back, because felt will stick to felt. For paper pieces, use heavy paper like construction paper or poster board. Color and then laminate them. Lastly, add a piece of Velcro to the back, and you are finished.
