KEY FEATURES

2) Free-text Writer board (middle): Speak in chat or drop a notecard into Contents and text will appear.
3) Free-hand Drawing board (right): Use your mouse to draw.

▪ Set channel for listening for text to write (private channel can be used for group or owner only).
▪ Switch board background textures by touch: 6 included, plus ability to add your own custom texture.

DISPLAY FROM NOTECARD
----------------------------------------
You can also drag a notecard from your inventory (you need to have the right permissions) to have it display text on the board.
If the contents of the notecard exceeds the limit of the character display of the board, you will see a "More" floating text on top of the board.
Say "/more" to display the next page of text or click the ellipsis icon on your HUD.
Notes:
1. The notecard must be TEXT only and not contain landmarks and embedded objects.
2. There is a limit of 255 characters per line read from the notecard, anything longer will be truncated. This is a SL limit which I have no control over.

This is the best choice, by far. Let me try to tell you as much as possible. 3 boards and they do all the cool stuff it and the other reviewers say! ANY color text on the tee board. Put a bunch of your textures in the left board and click to advance through them! It will write via emoting, which is a cool ability to have. The hud with this is a lifesaver to me! Click the color you want, clear the background, rez some seats (clean up those seats), and a bunch more stuff! It can read directly from a notecard as well, which makes setting up any type of presentation MUCH easier!
I’ve bought a ton of different chalkboards (and other text-display crap) and this is the only tool I actually use! The only “small” drawback I can imagine about this chalkboard is that it is NOT small. =) Take a good look at the picture of it rezzed out - in comparison to the size of the avatar in red. She’s no tiny person, this board is big! Which is great when the people in the back of the room need to be able to see! Making it smaller via edit is simple enough, and all those letter spaces scale down perfectly!! Changing the size a lot does alter where the two side-boards end up, when using the expand/collapse function... but, if you edit the sides individually, you can place them right where you want them! - I just can’t say enough about this chalkboard! My friends are all getting sick of hearing me go on about it. =) And lastly (but not leastly)... the seller, Grace, is an amazingly helpful lady. Not just “good” customer service... she truly went out of her way to make my chalkboard purchase be the last one I’d ever make! Thanks a ton, Grace! Please make more Really Useful (and fun) stuff for us to play with!!

THIS is amazing-- A Classroom in a Box

The ad doesn't do this little gem justice. First, you get three chalkboards that do separate things: Texture displayer; notecard or main chat reader; and FREE HAND MOUSE WRITING/Drawing board!!!! Next, the rezz menu gives you the ability to rez seating for your students in rows, U-shaped, or H-shaped configurations. Other classrooms in a box are WAY overpriced. This is the one you want.

Really useful!! Best Chalkboard in SL
full star full star full star full star full star Posted June 06, 2012 by Paul Susa

Hi: I use this board in an online classroom, it lets me display text line by line as bullet points. drop long quotations right on it to display and even do freehand on one of the panels. Excellent product , easy to use, great value. Very clever scripting.
