What are classroom Dry Erase boards and what are they used for?

Classroom whiteboards, also known as dry-erase boards or marker boards, are writing surfaces that can be easily erased with a dry cloth or eraser. They are commonly used in classrooms and other educational settings as a tool for teaching, presenting information, and promoting interactive learning. They can be used to write notes, draw diagrams, and display multimedia.

What are the benefits of using a dry erase whiteboard in the classroom?

Whiteboards offer a number of benefits in the classroom. They allow teachers to easily write and draw, making it easy to convey information and ideas to students. They also provide a shared space for the class to work together, allowing for collaborative learning and problem-solving. Whiteboards are also versatile and can be used to display multimedia such as images and videos. Additionally, whiteboards are easily erasable, which means that teachers can quickly make changes and adjustments as needed, and students can easily participate in the class and practice by writing on the board.

What types of dry erase whiteboards are available for classrooms?

There are several types of whiteboards available for classrooms, including traditional hard-surface whiteboards, portable whiteboards, and interactive whiteboards. Traditional hard-surface whiteboards are typically made of porcelain or melamine and are mounted to the wall. Portable whiteboards are freestanding and can be moved around the classroom. Interactive whiteboards are typically large touch screens that can be used to display multimedia and allow for interactive learning activities.

How do you clean and maintain a whiteboard?

To clean a whiteboard, you should use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away any marks or residue. Avoid using cleaning products that contain ammonia or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface of the whiteboard. To remove stubborn marks, you can use a whiteboard eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water. After cleaning, it is also important to use a whiteboard conditioning solution to protect the surface and ensure that the markers write smoothly. Additionally, it is always good practice to wipe down whiteboard with microfiber or other lint-free cloth at the end of the day so it stays clean and ready to use next day.

How to choose the right size of dry erase whiteboard for your classroom?

The size of the whiteboard you choose for your classroom will depend on the size of the room, the number of students, and the type of activities you plan to use it for. For small classrooms or individual workstations, a smaller whiteboard may be sufficient. For larger classrooms or spaces where group work is a focus, a larger whiteboard will be more appropriate. It's important to also consider location of the whiteboard in the classroom, like whether it is easily visible to all students or not. In general, interactive whiteboards are usually larger than traditional whiteboards.

Can dry erase whiteboards be used for online teaching?

Yes, whiteboards can be used for online teaching. There are various online whiteboard tools, software and platforms available, like Zoom and Microsoft teams which allow teachers to share their whiteboard in real time with students online. Additionally, teachers can also take a screenshot of their whiteboard and share it as an image file with their students.
