His instructions are <a href=\"https:\/\/kellymccullough.com\/building-a-light-board-from-odds-and-ends\/\">here<\/a>. Mine isn&#8217;t as fancy, of course, but it does everything I need it to do!<\/p>\n<p>Random notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students see my face as I&#8217;m working problems.\u00a0 They see me and hear me just as if I was in front of them. It&#8217;s actually more face-to-face than writing on a whiteboard in a classroom!<\/li>\n<li>I specifically chose a clip where I&#8217;m blocking some text to show that I have to be careful where I stand. It was a learning process.<\/li>\n<li>I can use four colors, using the &#8220;window glass&#8221; type dry erase markers. They come in packs of five but yellow and green are indistinguishable.<\/li>\n<li>Erasing seems to work best with a microfiber cloth.<\/li>\n<li>With the Learning Glass at Stout, I don&#8217;t want to wear all black because then I&#8217;m just a head and hands floating around. Solid dark colors are best. If I&#8217;m wearing a blue shirt, I&#8217;ll skip using the blue marker. With the lightboard at home I want to wear all black because of the other light sources; black is needed to see the text.<\/li>\n<li>I had to learn to look at the camera; I don&#8217;t like being on video. But it does make a difference!<\/li>\n<li>My international students love these videos.<\/li>\n<li>UW-Stout did the captioning on my previous videos; I need to figure out the best way to caption ones from this year.<\/li>\n<li>I discovered that early morning is not the best time for me to record. I end up squinting a lot when I look upwards because the lights are so bright! By midday my eyes are more awake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been using a lightboard for three or four years for my classes.
