I try to use a write-on-screen computer for everything. Currently
Toshiba Portege M400 notebook/tablet convertible PC.
A classroom projector does the displaying. The need for a second writing
board is greatly diminished compared to traditional chalkface. The
software - mainly Microsoft OneNote, Powerpoint and Windows Journal -
allows to scroll back and forth between different parts of a written
presentation. I hand-write on slides on-screen in class, students often
copy that onto their slides printouts. When I need an aside, I
explicitly switch from e.g. Powerpoint into OneNote. Students switch to
a clean page of lined paper. Students told me that the fact that
everything happens on one screen helps them to keep up with the thread
of classroom discussion.

In particular regarding use of white boards, black boards, size and quantity. Any responses welcome. Photographs would be especially helpful if anyone has any photographs of lecture theatres or teaching rooms which they consider are particularly well suited to their requirements.
