This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a slate with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a slate is one of the three chalkboards available in Minecraft Education Edition (EDU). It is 1 block wide by 1 block high which is the smallest chalkboard available to creators. The purpose of a slate is to give instructors/teachers a way to communicate instructions, goals and additional information to students within the game.
