The difference in working with bilingual students as opposed to monolingual students, is that my students will need more reinforcement of concepts taught in English.
Right now the classroom has a chalkboard. The problem with chalkboards for an instructional purpose is chalk dust covers everything (and with the students having white shirts as uniforms, chalk will attract to that), students have allergies to it, the board is hard to clean, and most of all the chalk is hard to see, especially colored chalk.
I would love to have a whiteboard to teach on. The reasons for a whiteboard vs. chalkboard are simple. It's easier to write with a marker than chalk, cleaner for students to come up and use it, easier to clean and use again, and no chalk on me!
I think by having a whiteboard students will be more excited to come up and participate on the board and their writing will be more readable, because many students don't have experience working with chalk.
You can help create more student involvement, and a more stimulating teaching environment. My project needs a 4x8 whiteboard for whole group instruction and student practice. HIDELive Updates
