I guess it does save a little time, at the expense of having the visible boards not a continuous history of what you've done (one is hidden, and then they can see the one before that). I suppose that could even be an advantage (maybe making the statement of a theorem and the first lemma visible instead of the proof of the first lemma), depending on the structure of the lecture and what it's important to see when.
no subject
So I dunno either.
