My Project

Students can use erasable whiteboards to help them visualize and solve complex problems more easily. They are able to write their letters, numbers and generate ideas with a portable eco-friendly dry erase board where they can easily erase mistakes and explain their reasoning. I plan to use this whiteboard for my English Language Learning small group.

Whiteboards are the perfect tool to engage students who need to work things out and allows students to work together on the same problem.

They help students by providing a reusable, portable surface to work out ideas, solve problems, and visualize concepts without the pressure of making permanent mistakes, allowing for easy erasing and re-attempting, which encourages creativity, collaboration, and risk-taking in the learning process. They are particularly useful for brainstorming, visual learning, and group activities where students can easily share and refine their thinking. Magnets will be used to put on letter cards so we can use use them on our magnetic boards!
