At school it was normal to write with a slate penicil on a piece of slate (the slate pencil could be make of clay, soft slate, soapstone or chalk). The main advantage of slate was that it the marks could be erased and the slate could be reused.

Yes they would, think of the slates as portable mini chalk boards, and that's how they were used.
