In school, students rely on teachers to thoroughly and effectively teach, demonstrate, and explain the curriculum in a multitude of ways. In fact, the effectiveness of an instructor’s teaching style is often a determining factor in students’ overall success. While there are auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners, 65% of the population are visual learners. With this in mind, visuals in the classroom are essential.
Classrooms with whiteboards can be highly conducive to learning, especially for visual learners. Dry erase markers are available in a wide array of colors, making color-coded information a possibility, and they can be wiped clean to create space for the next inflow of information. Additionally, projectors can seamlessly present slides onto the bright white surface that whiteboards provide.
Traditional whiteboards have several drawbacks, though. They are often small, restricting how much content can be displayed, and take up valuable wall space. Installing them can be expensive, especially in larger rooms. Over time, they can stain or ghost, making them harder to clean and less useful. They also lack flexibility, meaning they can’t easily adapt to changing classroom needs. Avoid these common shortcomings of traditional whiteboards with 3M Whiteboard Film.
