My seven-year-old daughter’s school play obliged me to pay a visit to her school. I was excited enough to do that, not only because I wanted to see her adaptation of Snow White, but because I wanted to see my old campus again. I went to the same school when I was younger so I’m anxious to see all the improvements and changes it has undergone. Stepping into my daughter’s class room took me back in time. Those were the same old chairs, only sturdier and newly-painted. The teacher’s desk was new – bigger and with more drawers. I eagerly looked towards the black board, hoping to get a glimpse of the various art works and writings typically seen in kids’ class rooms. I was quite taken aback though when, instead of a chalk board, what I saw was a marker board. Admittedly, it looks better than a chalkboard. Marker boards, apparently, have taken the place of chalk boards in school owing to their usability and versatility. Read on to learn why marker boards are now the favorite tools for various school related activities.
Since a marker board is now the focal point inside a class room, teachers use it during their lectures and class discussions. Marker boards have proven to be more convenient to use than chalk boards. Since they do not require the use of any powdery substance – they entail the use of board markers – the common allergic reactions and respiratory problems associated with exposure to chalk have been duly addressed. As well, with the use of colored board markers, teachers can better help their students with data retention and memorization by highlighting important words, names, places and dates.

A marker board can also function as a projector screen. I have noticed that class room activities now include slide shows and video presentations. In the past, such activities necessitated the use of projector screens. These screens are bulky, expensive and serve only one purpose. With the rising popularity of marker boards in school, teachers have realized that these boards can aid during slide shows and video presentations as efficiently as projector screens. Their smooth, flat and white surfaces prove to be ideal for such class room activities.
Students, as well, can make us of marker boards when reviewing for their lessons. My daughter says that some of her friends have smaller, handy marker boards. They use these boards when reviewing for lessons such as math and spelling. They actually have fun in the process too. They can make use of colored board markers to emphasize on key numbers, equations, letters and words. Moreover, just a few swipes from the board eraser can render the surface of the marker board clean, spotless and ready for use once more. Thus, erasures and mistakes are easily handles, encouraging students to keep on trying until they get things right.
Marker boards, indeed, are such handy, convenient and practical tools. They have made various school related activities more enjoyable, trouble-free and comprehensible. Thus, a marker board these days cannot only be spotted inside class rooms, but along hallways, in libraries and lectures rooms and even in football fields as well. They are such smart and convenient alternatives to chalk boards.
