Sometimes you just want to write on the world. Don’t have much room for a full white board or maybe you think chalk boards are outdated and take up too much invaluable wall space? Why not build yourself a handy desktop idea globe?
Ingredients:
1. Used classroom globe (in this case my wife bought me one from target for x-mas).
2. Chalkboard Paint
3. Spackle
4. Newspapers
5. Gesso (with squirt of black acrylic paint).
6. Coat Hanger

The Science Museum of Minnesota has one of these… on a much larger scale… in its “legacy” collection. The plaque states that sales never really took off, and it’s hard to blame a school for passing on a giant spherical blackboard.
I have a larger one of these in my schoolhouse.
It has black continents, blue oceans, and no placenames.
I presume students were supposed to label the continents.
It has a kind of “world without borders” cool.
Cool idea. I helped my son make a tool box for scouts and we pained it with blackboard paint so he could decorate or just scribble.
