Cultural Tip
In French schools and many workplaces, the tableau (blackboard or whiteboard) is the main place for sharing information. Using "affiché" implies a more permanent posting, like a notice, whereas "écrit" suggests something written by hand. Be aware that in some regions (e.g., Québec) you might hear "le tableau blanc" for a whiteboard.
