Advantages: easy to use

Disadvantages: pen ink is hard to wash out of clothes

The students in my class use white / dry wipe boards to write/draw scribble on to practice pencil control and to do their work on.
These white boards are the modern equivalent of a blackboard, a slate. They are useful in saving paper waste. Johnny can draw and correct many pictures on one of these as when the picture/work is finished with it can be wiped of by using an eraser Certainly easier to clean than a chalk board , cleaner no chalk dust making a mess
White board pens seem easier for my special needs pupils to write with than standard pens.

Berol make white boards. We have a few I just checked the price, its £34.00 for a pack of 10 double sided boards one side plain one lined from http://www.berol.com/searchDetail.asp?sectorID=0&a mp;productID=1043 . Berol products are good last well

Other non magnetic white boards our students use are about A4 size, they do come in different size some A3 others that are smaller or bigger. Some I have used have a plastic colored frame border around them others do not have any frame edging. Some are magnetic some not. A white board is an enameled board mostly steel these days but sometimes hardboard still. This enameling gives a bright white glossy surface to write on using a special whiteboard pen. The images clean and bright.
Some white boards have a line printed on them so that your child can write on the line others have grid squares printed on them.
Using a white board is good for asthma and those who are allergic to chalk dust. They are we have several white board erasers sometimes the children use them but often I have use these erasers to clean the white board some in stock at Amazon for £3,99
I have seen white boards in a pine frame some with half white board some cork board ideal for message/notice leaving at home. we have several white board erasers sometimes the children use them but often I have use these erasers to clean the white board some in stock at Amazon for £3,99 for 40x30 cm boards .

You can get magnetic white boards too these are good as you can buy magnetic numbers and letters too that will be attracted and stick on these boards children can make up their words and practice copying the letters and numbers.
We also use interactive white boards instead of a large class blackboard this can be connected to a computer to display visuals from computer. Very few schools use a blackboard now
Just type in white boards to your search engine and you will find many options. White boards are a really good classroom office tool and for home use too.

Be warned tough dry wipe pen ink is very difficult if not impossible to remove from clothes any ideas for cleaning my school trousers anyone?
