In Talk and Chalk: The Blackboard as an Intellectual Tool, Michael O'Hare describes what distinguishes the nearly ever present blackboard from other media such as slides, overheads, and flip charts. In doing so, he pinpoints the unique nature of a blackboard and how this makes it an especially effective device for managing and stimulating discussions. O'Hare makes a series of practical points about techniques that can put this ubiquitous classroom feature to work helping students stay engaged in class discussion. Everyone who has a blackboard in the classroom will find this a useful piece.

Each case is intended to spark conversations about a particular collegiate teaching situation. (From the Publisher)
