Every day my students engage in their learning through different tools. We often use dry erase boards and markers to jot our thinking down. These are wonderful tools but create a lot of waste. Our markers are constantly running out and the boards get dirty or do not erase completely. With reusable writing tablets will be able to spend more time engaged in work than replacing dried-out markers, create less of an impact on the environment AND be able to use these tablets to create! I know my students will greatly appreciate and enjoy sharing their knowledge through the use of these writing tablets. Any donations would help our class.
