I’ve always wondered why chalk and blackboard are still used heavily in professions like that. Are there really no decent software options? Even a smartboard would be nice since you can save and revisit past work. Or does artisanal Japanese chalk really just feel that amazing to use?
I had a college professor that hid his artisanal Japanese chalk in a hole in the wall behind the blackboard so that he didn’t have to carry it around (and risk breaking it).
I’m not kidding. He said it was his favorite chalk and he bought a bunch of it in Japan.
You use the tool you have. We have the luxury of whiteboards and four or five colours (and even monochrome print), but if you work in a university you may only have blackboards, and perhaps that Japanese artisanal chalk is nicer to use
Anyway you can save any *board work; you have a phone with a camera. I have so many pre-pandemic photos of sprint planning boards in my photos
