My Project

My students love to demonstrate their work on our dry erase board. These markers will give them a variety of colors to choose from when making charts, graphs and demonstrating code.

Color coding helps students remember better and learning by demonstration is often used to give my students presentation skills as well as practical skills.

In a computer classroom in a predominantly black, economically disadvantaged region of Mississippi, dry erase markers can serve as a valuable tool to enhance the learning experience. Their versatility, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness make them accessible to all students. By incorporating these creative uses of dry erase markers, you can foster engagement, collaboration, and active learning, ultimately helping your students thrive in the digital age and beyond.
