Whiteboards

Our math department has been using the individual white boards in our classrooms for the past couple of years. I really like using the boards, but found it to be a bit of a hassle to pass them out and have the students get markers and erasers. This hassle was the main reason that I did not utilize the whiteboards in my classroom as much as I should. That's why I made these:

I used velcro to stick the eraser and marker to the whiteboard. The whiteboards are kept under the students' desks so that they are ready to use whenever needed. At the beginning and the end of each hour, the students check to make sure that they have both an eraser and a marker. The students were told that it is their responsibility to check for these items. If an item is missing, it's the responsibility of the student that sat in the seat the previous hour. So far, it seems to be working. Guess we'll see.....
