These days, magnetic whiteboards are being used to replace the blackboards that we have traditionally used in classrooms across the country. They feature, as their name suggests, a white surface and require special markers instead of messy chalk. Whiteboards are becoming a very popular addition to schools, businesses and homes, but why exactly is this?
- Simple and Reusable – One of the great things about whiteboards is that they are very simply to use (they require no special skills) and they are completely reusable. The ink can be erased very quickly, preparing the surface to be written on again.
- Versatile Use – These boards can be used in a variety of settings with relative ease, especially as they don’t need to be plugged into an electrical outlet or computer. There are also a variety of finishes available (from laminate and lacquered to portable and hinged) ensuring that your choice is perfect for your needs.
- Non-Messy – Another great thing about magnetic whiteboards is that they are not messy to use and they don’t produce harmful and allergenic dust. If ink from the markers is accidentally put on the wrong surface, it can also be easily removed.
- Participative – These sorts of boards actually encourage collaboration and participation, as more than one person can use the surface at a time and they are easy to use. This makes them invaluable in the classroom and other learning environments. Research has actually proven that they can motivate students of all ages.
- Cost Effective – Another great thing about whiteboards is that they are relatively cost effective, inexpensive and don’t cost much to run. The markers and erasers that you need are usually cheap to purchase and they will also last quite a while.
As you can see, there are plenty of advantages associated with using magnetic whiteboards in this day and age, regardless of whether it is in your business or classroom. To fully experience some of these advantages for yourself and to determine whether a whiteboard is more preferable to a traditional blackboard, you should purchase one of these useful inventions today.
