what is that "take 1..." board called?

Hi,

I would like to purchase one of those boards that you can write what scene, take, etc on it. I just don't know what they are called. I thought it was called a film marker, but I guess I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance!

most lighting and movie camera supply stores will call it a slate.
