A sheet containing the letters of the alphabet was mounted on a wooden frame and protected with thin, transparent plates of horn. The frame was shaped like a table-tennis paddle, had a handle, and was usually hung at the child’s belt.

Quite commonly, hornbooks taught the alphabet with capital and lower-case letters, followed by vowels and consonants in their combinations. Another common instruction in hornbooks was The Lord’s Prayer and various numbering systems.

Computer use in education was first introduced in the 1950s to train MIT pilots in flight simulators.
This method became known as computer-assisted instruction (CAI)
Uses

to teach elementary students binary arithmetic.
to reserve time for calculations and computer-assisted instruction.
to keep track of their performance data and mastery of specific learning objectives.

However, these versions of computer systems took up a lot of space and were overly expensive. They were also expensive to maintain and control by universities and other industries.

It allows them to trace their strokes and become familiar with how the letters are written. The benefits of sensory writing include the activation of multiple senses and providing an experience that would help in improving their learning retention. For tactile stimulation, children become more engaged as they touch and feel different textures through their fingertips; visual simulation could be observed as they watch their fingers create letters and words from the sand; and auditory simulation when they trace around the sand.

Dr. Purje of Central Queensland University in Australia argues that the use of these more traditional tools has its own benefits. In comparison to whiteboard markers, even the way of holding a chalk helps in developing highly skilled and efficient handwriting action. Furthermore, it does not dry out and made of plastic, making it more sustainable.

It started as a form of entertainment, but eventually became a means for art appreciation as photography became more popular at the time. Magic Lantern's modern counterparts are PowerPoint presentations and projectors, except it used actual glass slides. As the light emitted by candles was not enough in producing accurate color and desired clarity in projecting the images, light production was also developed and finally secured its place in lectures.
