According to some research articles I found, there is no learning difference between using PowerPoint and writing on the chalkboard. But learning is improved when you use them together.

After reading about Harvard Business School Board Planning strategy in Teaching Effectively With Zoom by Dan Levy, I wanted to learn more about improved chalkboard practices. You may be thinking to yourself, “Isn’t using a chalkboard pretty basic?” I thought so as well. However, there are strategies you can use to improve learning.
Another piece of research I found to be interesting is that students actually prefer instructors to use a chalkboard rather than using PowerPoint. Based on what I have learned about chalkboards, I have to rethink my position.
This week, we are going to take a closer look at using chalkboards, blackboards, and whiteboards in the classroom. We are going to look at the reasons why as well as strategies for improving effective practice. Finally, we are going to explore ways to use chalkboards in a virtual environment.
