Chalkboard or Blackboard is a reusable writing surface on which text or drawings are made with chalk or other erasable markers. Blackboards were originally made of smooth, thin sheets of black or dark grey slate stone. Sometimes they are green (especially early elementary) or brown (especially at universities) and thus sometimes called a green board or brown board instead.

White board A whiteboard (also known as a dry-erase,dry-wipe board or a pen-board) is a name for any glossy surface, most commonly coloured white, where non-permanent markings can be made.

Smart Board SMART Board interactive whiteboard is a product of SMART Technologies. It is a large, touch-controlled screen that works with a projector and a computer. The projector throws the computer’s desktop image onto the interactive whiteboard, which acts as both a monitor and an input device. Users can write on the interactive whiteboard in digital ink or use a finger to control computer applications by pointing, clicking and dragging, just as with a desktop mouse. Buttons launch a popup keyboard and a right-mouse-click menu for more input options. The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is usually mounted on a wall or floor stand. It can be used in face-to-face or virtual settings.

Realia In education, realia include objects used by educators to help students to understand better other cultures and real life situations. A teacher of a foreign language often employs realia to strengthen students' associations between words for everyday objects and the objects themselves. In many cases these objects are part of an instructional kit which includes a manual and is thus considered as being part of a documentary whole by librarians. In foreign language instruction, the term realia has a broader meaning, which includes photos of objects from a country where the target language is spoken.
