Shower Thoughts Board-Waterproof Whiteboard + Erasable + Reusable-by ShowerThoughts Co.

Product Information

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the board. For a badly gummed up board this will take some serious elbow work. I have cleaned with paper towels or cotton cloth. Both seem to work equally well. If you want something that can be used in a live session but also before and/or after the class then Padlet or Microsoft Whiteboard would be good choices depending on the activity. We have written several blog posts about Padlet which should give you an idea of the possibilities: If there are stubborn marks, use a cloth dampened with isopropanol or 70%+ ethanol to gently remove them.

Did someone accidentally write on the whiteboard with a permanent marker? Good news! Imagination Soup confirms that all you need to do is write over it with a dry erase marker, and the alcohol in the ink will help lift the permanent marker up when you erase. Alcohol-based disinfecting wipes work too. 15. DIY some whiteboard cleaner Our office has installed new whiteboards over the last two years. Many of these boards are heavily used and have already devolved to the point of being useless -- the writing on them has become all but permanent and they are heavily stained. If you think you might like to try one of them, this detailed comparison of the two apps might help you decide which one will suit your purposes.

If you’ve got a die cut machine, use it to cut out adhesive vinyl outlines of favorite characters or shapes. Then add them to the whiteboard like @messygorgeouschaos did, and you’ve got a DIY coloring wall! 10. Add focal points with dry erase dots

Use a terry cloth towel to rub off all the excess dried wax. This also requires some elbow grease and you want to really rub and buff the surface of the white board. If properly buffed out the board will be very smooth with none of the yellowish wax residue left anyplace on the board.When learning together, a digital space to capture and/or organise ideas can be useful. Whether in-person or remote, synchronous or asynchronous, activities using digital whiteboards can help students to build on each other’s learning. This post will look at a few types of activities and some tools that could be used for them. Whiteboard activities

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive, enough to clean stubborn marks without damaging your board. Choose the plain white paste type for best results. Learn more at Wikihow. 17. Re-use dryer sheets to keep things clean Bring your anchor charts front and center like Teach Create Motivate and hang them from a magnetic curtain rod. 9. Make a whiteboard coloring wall I've tried commercial white board cleaner. It's about the same as household cleaner, but is more expensive. Accidents happen! Fortunately, Kenarry notes that you can clean dry erase marker off a painted wall by rubbing gently with rubbing alcohol. (Test in an inconspicuous place first to make sure it’s safe on your wall.) 20. Revive dried-out markersYou can buy pre-made whiteboard calendars or just make your own with paint markers or striping tape. Cute monthly decorations like the ones from @emily.ollis are optional, but so fun! 28. Add clothespins with removable adhesive strips
