The white board is great because it can be moved around the classroom as needed for more impact with students. I can use both sides which provides better visibility. I also have shared the white board with neighbor teachers which has been a big help to them as well. The portability of the white board is great. \r\nThe sanitizing wipes are essential to make sure I can clean desks and equipment as needed to prevent cross contamination.
