It can be hard to keep students engaged, especially with all of today’s distractions. This is where a large whiteboard can come in handy. It’s an amazing and inexpensive way to keep your students interested. Here are some ways that you can use a whiteboard in the classroom:
Brainstorming— Review or explore a new subject or idea. Divide your students into groups of two or three, and give them a concept about which they can brainstorm. They can use a whiteboard to write down their ideas.
Q&A Session— You can ask the class a question, and they can use a rolling whiteboard to write out a short response.
Practice Vocabulary— Teachers can write multiple choice answers on a whiteboard, while their students write down which answers they think are correct.
Math Problems— Writing out math problems on a large whiteboard can give students the freedom to retract or erase their steps while they work on math problems.
Spelling— Break your students into groups of three or four, and let them take turns spelling out words. You can even turn it into a competition by giving bonus points to the winning group.
These are some of the ways that a rolling whiteboard can be used in a classroom, but there may be other ways that this tool can be used to keep students engaged.
