If you’ve got a die cut machine, use it to cut out adhesive vinyl outlines of favorite characters or shapes. Then add them to the whiteboard like @messygorgeouschaos did, and you’ve got a DIY coloring wall! 10. Add focal points with dry erase dots

Most of these could occur in either in-person classes or remote sessions and may be synchronous or asynchronous. Tools When learning together, a digital space to capture and/or organise ideas can be useful. Whether in-person or remote, synchronous or asynchronous, activities using digital whiteboards can help students to build on each other’s learning. This post will look at a few types of activities and some tools that could be used for them. Whiteboard activities Use a clean, soft cloth slightly dampened with plain water to gently wipe the last bits of dust off the board, again moving from top to bottom.Save your used fabric softener sheets because they make terrific whiteboard erasers! Watch a video to see this in action at BTOD. 18. Refresh and protect an old board with WD-40 Before we consider some of the digital tools available it is worth thinking about what your collaborative activity is intended to achieve and the context in which it is happening. Here are some examples of ways that digital whiteboards might be used in a learning environment: Depending on your activity there are a few tools that will suit you. This grid will help you choose which tool(s) to try. We have indicated whether there is an institutional licence, which tools are useful for remote, in-person, synchronous and asynchronous activities and provided a link to information about accessibility.

Use electrical tape to set up a pencil station like this one by @TheAlexNieves. Then have students write in their name when they need to borrow a pencil to save your pencil stash from going dry. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the board. For a badly gummed up board this will take some serious elbow work. I have cleaned with paper towels or cotton cloth. Both seem to work equally well. If you can add a magnet to it, you can use it on your whiteboard! Miss Giraffe uses this idea for base 10 cubes and rulers. 7. Frame off sections If you teach handwriting, you’re going to love this washi tape idea from Bored Teachers. Use it to make lines on your whiteboard, plus try adding lines to the small whiteboards your students use too. 5. Try out magnet paperDried-out markers are inevitable. Sometimes, though, you can rescue them using this method from Preschool Inspirations. Run the tip under a very slow stream of water to re-wet it. Then wrap the tip in plastic wrap, add the lid, and let sit overnight. Test the marker to see if it worked.
