Yes, long after you really get what flannel boards are all about, this film just keeps on deep diving.... probably more than I really wanted to know about flannel boards... but hey - in 1957 these were a really big deal!

I haven't seen one of these since grade school in the 1960s.
(You need to edit the "color recognition" exercise to make all the signs say "brown")
flannel boards–ooo fancy! not in my world. we just had chalk boards and books.and imagination! occassionally we had slide shows with recordings. all this is now ancient history. thanks for the tour.
Seeing your teacher do this would probably be better for retention than a SmartBoard.
Next, I expect a documentary on the origins of connecting the photos on a police detectives' murder-conspiracy board with red yarn….🤔
This was obviously filmed before the Plaid laws were passed, requiring all flannel to have a pattern, preferably Plaid. It was done to honor Kurt Cobain, who was conceived on Plaid flannel sheets….😁
Nice way to make things interactive with the learner. Might be time to re-use this concept in today's class rooms. Get them out of their PC screens and phones; get them up and engaging with one another.
This was all there was when I was a kid at church or camp or whatever. Its more of a performance art and also a construction craft. You can't always get results from careerist hacks or whatever. Its basically a puppet show and you have to be into it. It is however, like projected film, BIG ENOUGH TO SEE, which was a huge problem when VCRs attached to puny TVs took over everything in the 80s.
Imagine what they would've thought of, interactive whiteboards, projection, 3D interactive animations etc. that are used today.
Now THERE's a blast from the past! Crikey. I haven't seen or thought of flannel boards in more than 40 years!
We used these in 1st grade (way back in '71). Haven't seen one since then.
Back when whiteboards or flip charts weren't a thing yet…
I think I remember something like that from my time in elementary school back in the '90s, but it was more about attaching paper objects with thumbnails 🙂
Hmm making outlines from a globe is not a true representation of size tut tut.
Nice collection of videos you're producing, Fran.
That opaque projector brought back memories of "classroom tech" from my school years from the early 1960s through the mid 1970s. Including those audio filmstrip projectors that used beeps on a record to advance the projector to the next frame. And, of course, overhead projectors and 16mm projectors. Back when schools had "AV Clubs", the original geek/nerd dens, where students did basic maintenance on the equipment and shuffled it between classrooms.
