One of the favourite things to do before the teacher came to do the presentation was to fiddle with the focus and lens position knobs on the projector. They would then spend the next 5 to 10 minutes trying to fix this whilst everyone had a good laugh and time to chat. Bless you class clowns for keeping school fun.
Thanks! I was trying to find a picture or video to show my kids. I realized no one uses these, but they were the best! The worst thing that happened was the darn bulb always going out. I remember my teacher always wanted these specific wipes. And when you got her new pens - it made her day ;) So exciting to be the one picked to haul the cart to another room. LoL. Technology sure has changed.
These are still used in schools here in Germany. Last year i was on my last year in a school comparable to a „high school“ and these where still used by some teachers.
Especially by older teachers who are comfortable with them. Smart boards and digital projectors still require thorough knowledge of the software for the teacher to not make a fool of themselves infront of digital fluent students.
@@cattysplat I'd also say using an overhead projector would also feel more natural if you're having to write or draw over the image you're projecting, than to write large words on a smart board.
One time (in either 2012 or 2013) our teacher told us that she would have let us do PowerPoints for a project but her computer was slow and the formatting didn’t always work correctly. She still had an old overhead projector (though sometimes you had to thump it to get it working) so I came up with the idea of doing what I called “an old fashioned PowerPoint” (looking back now I had some more advanced technology to hand to make it happen) I went down to the local office supply store and purchased inkjet transparencies (the woman at the store was very surprised and said I was the youngest customer to ever buy them). I then made some “slides” in Microsoft Paint (I didn’t have access to Microsoft PowerPoint on the computer I was using and wasn’t fully aware of alternatives at the time). I printed them in full colour and brought the box of printed transparencies to school. I don’t know if the teacher knew what to make of it but she did say as she put it down on the glass that they were the nicest transparencies she’d ever seen. Can’t remember what mark I got on the assignment but if I recall it was quite high. I still have them in there box so technically in the unlikely event if I ever need to do another project about sea scallops (I think that was the topic I was given) and have an overhead projector I can reuse them. ;-)
I know same I feel so old knowing that many of the young kids growing up will never know what an overhead projector was. I still remember the frustration of taking notes from them when the teacher refused to leave the entire thing uncovered because she was still talking about the current point(I was always a slow note taker in school and wanted to work ahead of the current notes so I could just fully focus on what she was saying). Also the ever present annoyance of having someone writing on the slide but having the hands blocking the entire thing so the audience can not see a thing.
@@Zoro_B_Lost Hahaha... I remember these things when my teacher didn't have smart boards I think... technology is advancing so fast, that now we have advanced smart boards (very expensive for now) but they have such good graphics and work so good without a projector. Its insane..
They are still present in every single German classroom. And IMHO they are far better and more failsafe than any "interactive" whiteboard. Those are (in most cases) just horrendously overprized white walls to show videos or powerpoint presentations on. For those 5k$ a single IWB costs you can buy a lot of sleek notebooks and projectors...
Honestly, in a teaching environment where you're constantly taking questions and having to come up with new examples on the fly, I'd say these are more useful than a Power Point presentation. As long as you don't NEED super detailed illustrations or video.
yeah I agree I feel like having that flexibility to just _change the play at the line of scrimmage and go off script_ like a QB gives you so much more reach and comfort in knowing that your answering a question specifically tailored for them.
Last time I used these regularly was in the mid-90's. I was just cleaning out some files and found some from old presentations. True overhead projector story: A professor had set up an overhead slide on a projector and then walked up to the screen to point something out. While gesticulating at the screen he stopped suddenly, then started sneaking up to a massive fly he saw on the movie screen and then suddenly flicked it, trying to get it off the screen. What we realized, and he didn't, was that the fly wasn't on the screen but had landed on the Fresnel lens and was being magnified and projected on the screen, along with the slide. The fly actually came through quite clearly - clearly enough to fool the prof about its location.
Haven't seen one of those working since high school. And that wasn't long ago at all. Didn't know PowerPoint started off by actually printing to OHTs. It's obvious now that it's mentioned, just never made the connection.
same here and I think they still have that free flow ability to them where as a powerpoint is kinda stuck as is. I know they have digital pens and tablets like wacom that can annotate a powerpoint live but there is something engaging about the projector with the teacher being dead center in the room and not tucked away at a podium next to a laptop.
One comment about color slides: You could prepare them on a computer using a pen plotter. Canon had a color inkjet printer in 1983, but I don't know if it would print properly on transparency film. The presenter did a great job of demonstrating the traditional overhead projector! I had forgotten about the sheet to cover later points technique, even though I saw it used every day in high school. I also remember when the instructor would inkjet print a bunch of pictures on one transparency film (color was expensive!), then pull the projector back from the screen to make the images big.
I always wondered what model mine is because I was given it as a gift from my art teacher in 2003 for exhibiting non traditional use for murals. I will have to upload a video of it, I believe it is probably from 1984. It looks exactly like the model 9100. The big bulb, the fan, the same exact aperture. I used it to create mural's! Celophane sheets and a lot of patience.
The last time I saw an overhead projector used in person was 2011, in my arts class in primary school. Our teacher was trying to make us learn the lyrics for some song that I don't know the name of, and I remember one time she got pissed and switched the projector off because she was getting annoyed that some kids were mispronouncing a word, even after our teacher had told them the correct pronunciation.
It seems my younger kid's school found some old projectors like this, because they used it the kids (he is 3) for a show and tell project, where the kids would put some toy for the shadow to be projected.
Last time I saw one of those that I can remember was in 1993 when I was in 6th grade. I’m sure I saw them in high school but I don’t remember. The reason I remember elementary overhead projectors is because my teacher had a short fuse and would slam her hand on it and the bulb would turn off.
Watching a movie & it showed one of these & my 11 yr old asks what it is. I remember when once she asked me what that thing was with all the cords & buttons on it was. It was an office phone. I swear I use YT as much for showing my kid the stuff I grew up with as much as I do watching videos. It never ceases to make me feel old AF either. Crazy!
This is what they had when i went to school, no answering machines, no pagers, no cell phones, no cable TV, no internet. Life was a lot cheaper, and if you called someone, and they did not answer the phone, then you waited and tried again.. All film was Kodak or Polaroid. Could find coke bottles on the street and get 5 cents. Comics were 12 cents, candy was a 5 cents. Gay was against the law. Teachers could hit your hands with rulers. Toys were from Japan. Most cars were made in USA. Everyone was working, plenty of jobs for teens. The world has gone mad since then... Life was good and simpler. Now the news sucks, politics is insanity.. Man i miss the good old days. That was before government mass transit. (greyhound back then) traffic was light (no traffic jams). New cars and trucks were about 3 to 6k. I remember the bank paid 6 percent on savings. Now we are in a debt society and they keep the interest rates low so you will borrow money instead of paying cash... Bought a house in silicon valley in 1977 (san jose CA for 33,000. Two bed apartments were about 180.00 per month. You could only buy a house if you could pay for it from one weeks salary... Bank rules... No police radar, no street light on weight sensors. Another world. It may sound boring but it was not,,, strrets were safe, kids played in parks, no parents drove there kids to school because it was safe.....
You say life was cheaper, this is simply not true. If anything everything was more expensive, so people did not have much disposable income, you had to be smart how you spent your money. Although things like hardware was generally built more sturdy to last longer. You paid for the minute for phone calls, long distance and out of country calls cost dollars a minute and that's old money pre-inflation. Film was expensive and also needed to be paid to be developed with chance of failure. Food is infinitely cheaper now, people could not afford to eat out in the past, some even went without meals and had terrible nutrition, now food is cheap and people eat out all the time. Could go on and on but not everything was great about the good old bad old days. Good riddance to public smoking, leaded gas, state discrimination, heavy censorship and needing a bookshelf of encyclopaedias to lookup anything.
It all depended on the model and brand of the projector. Sometimes the projector stage would get quite hot too. I still have a 2004 3M overhead projector in my office. 😉

Yes the lights being off set the atmosphere haha!

It's limitations also limit the number of things that can go wrong whilst in the middle of a busy presentation with hyper active kids.

I have this same exact memory!
These were still used when I was in Elementary school in the mid-to-late 90s.
In 2015 a teacher used it for art and also spanish I think
My schools used them up until I graduated high school in 2004
My school was using them in regular classes until i left middle school in 2009.
You must come to german schools, they are at these schools the only projectors.
And early 2000’s
To be honest, I LIKE THIS.
Haven't seen one of those working since high school. And that wasn't long ago at all.
Didn't know PowerPoint started off by actually printing to OHTs. It's obvious now that it's mentioned, just never made the connection.
I was going to say, this brings be back to my middle / high school days, 14 years ago.
Man he make me feel archaic we had these in middle school in the late 90's. Never thought they were that bad.
same here and I think they still have that free flow ability to them where as a powerpoint is kinda stuck as is.

Your childhood belongs in a museum!
At Bell we had "Viewgraphs". You printed on a transparency and put it in a paper frame, then stuck it on the projector.

These were one step above the chalk board when I was in school...Back when a TI-83 seemed like ahead of its time with a game like "Drug Wars"
It's still in my college 😭😭

Well I feel old.
You don't have to. In german schools OHPs are still a common thing because our gov. hates computers
We still use these in my high school.

Thanks for this video able to show my daughter what we used in class. She always talking about her Promethean Board.
Do we have a low temperature replacement for the old projector bulbs? Low or lower?

Can I use a screen capture of this video if I mention the CHM and the presenters name? Thanks!
the mirror of my overhead projector is broken, and I was wondering if I replace it with a mirror from the store would it still work?
There was one of these in my elementary school in 2010.
90s babies where u at
The ending was my favorite bit, I was cackling
This took me back!
Sir is this device an electronic device or not?
I remember my father and his business partner always have acetate films that work as a slide. Now they have Ipads, just cool how technology changed
So it means we can't use writing papersheets. so bad.
Mid 80s my elementary school had em. But many of the teachers mainly stuck to chalk and board
can you make the student's book's imagines on the wall?
ah, OHP bring back my memories during elementary and middle school during late 80's and early 90's
I remember these at school and church.
he didn't mention the part where these things were absolutely filled with dust and never cleaned
Yeah im this many years old

never had a chance to see them.
was this bad for the eyes of the instructor as they had to actually look into this bright light?
The light is not harmful for eyes is cool, I've used this projector almost 6 years
It all depended on the model and brand of the projector. Sometimes the projector stage would get quite hot too. I still have a 2004 3M overhead projector in my office. 😉
We forget the realy first one the blackboard :-)
Don't you mean the dirt?
There was a liquid Crystal device that you can lay over the screen and Project a Apple [] Monitor screen in real time.
miss using this
So in Germany every school still uses some of them.
They always overheat after 10-15 minutes.
overheat!? wow really? i was thinking a out picking one up.
Has anyone seen one since 2007 in a School?
Cries in german school System
These would still be great with the only change being an LED light source.
Gracias por la exposición
