Yep, Mr Kellog, I agree re how obnoxious whiteboards are for teachers/instructors. I wonder if blackboards are banned these days from the classrooms/lecture theatres of other countries besides Scotland. Maybe we can't be enlightened in that regard on this board, as there are so very few 'real teachers' working in EFL worldwide, especially so in China. Maybe our resident padre can tell us about Nairobi in said regard! I'm waiting!
