Don't forget that they can officially no longer be called "blackboards" because of all the stupid bloody do-gooders deciding on everybody else's behalf that it is not "politically correct" ! ! !

Anything can be painted with special blackboard paint. You get the paint in DIY shops and can paint just a piece of wood or a section of say a child's bedroom wall with it and use it as a blackboard to write with chalk on. Some people paint a kitchen cabinet door with it to use as things to do board.

Black boards are made of slate

Blackboards were originally made of slate but many boards are now made of porcelaine with a magnacite writing surface. Under the porcelaine is usually steel or aluminum.
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that develops from shale and tends to break into thin, flat sheets. For more information on slate go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate
For information on porcelaine go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate
For information on magnacite (magnesium oxide, or MgO) go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide.
Hope this helps.

They used to made of slate. Now they're made of wood with some kind of black graphite paint.
