My Project

I would like my students to have brand new whiteboards and markers. We use these materials every day during our spelling block.

Students love the freedom to make and fix mistakes on whiteboards.

With these supplies, my students will have more opportunities to collaborate, participate, and persevere; research shows there is more discussion, participation and persistence when pupils work on whiteboards.

Whiteboards give pupils opportunities to discuss different ways they have approached the problem, support each other during the problem-solving process, and work independently and in collaboration with their classmates. Valbekmo, Ingunn, and Anne-Gunn Svorkmo. "Whiteboards as a problem-solving tool." (2021).
