Whiteboards

As a former student, I always loved using whiteboards in the classroom. It was simple and easy to use but it always took a lot of time to get started and put them away because every student had to get one and make sure the marker they got was working. If it wasn't working then there was a lot of switching around to find the perfect dry erase marker. This idea for a whiteboard will make things much easier, by using a pack of page protectors and then find a colored piece of paper to put inside  so the writing would be legible. The page protectors are a lot cheaper than buying many whiteboards and it is something that they can keep with them in the binders. Whenever there is a time to start using the whiteboards all the students just have to pull out their binder, folder or wherever they have it and getting a dry erase marker could easily be part of the school supplies list at the beginning of the year so they already have all of their supplies ready to use and it is something that will be fun in the classroom and the students will enjoy.

When using whiteboards the students will always need something to erase their writing with. Instead of having everyone get up to get a tissue, one idea that they can keep with them is to buy some sponges from any dollar store and cut them in half. The sponges would be washable and reusable and the students could keep them with all the other supplies to use the whiteboards, they could even keep their marker and sponges inside the page protector, that way they always know where their supplies are. This is a low cost and effective idea for the classroom and will definitely help keep it running more smoothly, students won't have to be constantly getting up to change markers or to replace their tissues when they feel they can't use it anymore.
