From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Blackboard \Black"board`\ (bl[a^]k"b[=o]rd`), n.
     A broad board painted black, or any black surface on which
     writing, drawing, or the working of mathematical problems can
     be done with chalk or crayons. It is much used in schools. In
     late 20th century similar boards of a green slate as well as
     some colored white became common; wrioting on the slate


     bioards may be done with chalk, but writing on the white
     boards is done with colored pens, such as grease pens, which
     leaves a trace that can be easily erased. The newer boards,
     usualy called {chalkboards} are nevertheless still sometimes
     referred to as blackboards.
     [1913 Webster]
