A whiteboard is a modern variant of any conventional classroom blackboard, often a metallic magnetic sheet with a white, glossy surface. Whiteboards, commonly known as dry-erase boards, are white rather than black and are written on with dry-erase markers rather than chalk. In homes, classrooms, and offices, they are valuable assets. But what are the benefits of using a whiteboard marker?
General appearance:
White is more appealing to the eye than brown, black, or dark green. The colour white is associated with cleanliness and purity, whereas black is associated with aggression. A whiteboard also gives the classroom a more ‘professional’ and less ‘traditional’ appearance.
Let your imagination run wild with multiple colours:
You can use whatever colour whiteboard markers that your mind desires – there are many hues and even variations of colour available nowadays, including the most exotic colours! Whiteboard markers now have a cap that varies in colour based on the ink, making it very easy to distinguish between them with just a glance.
Increased visibility due to great contrast:
In contrast to the green, brown, or black backgrounds of previous school boards, texts written with darker colour markers on the whiteboard appear highly contrastive and is natural to the eye due to the white background.
Easily erased:
There isn’t any need to use that unpleasant wet cloth anymore to erase everything your imaginative brain has scribbled on the whiteboard. Use the magnetic eraser whenever you need it because it is always nearby.
Be eco-friendly and refillable:
Most dry-erase markers on the market at the moment can be replenished with fresh colours once the ink has been used up completely.
Don’t just write, be magnetic:
Information can be presented in various ways, including writing on the whiteboard. There are more to come. Another option is to use small magnets to adhere something to something. Great for presentations or all kinds of mix’n’match activities, among other things.
While the primary use of a whiteboard marker is writing on a dry erase board, the markers can also be used for a variety of other purposes, including:
Remove permanent marker stain:
Many permanent marker inks will dissolve with whiteboard markers; write over the permanent marker with a tissue and wipe away. You need to do this multiple times before it’s fully gone.
Make a mental map:
Think about putting paper in a Ziploc sheet and jotting on it if one index card isn’t enough to retain your thoughts. You can also print mind-mapping or doodle templates and easily erase or change your ideas.
Make notes on the mirror:
Dry-erase markers write well on glass, as do markers for dry-erase surfaces. Because it’s one of the first places you go when you wake up, the bathroom mirror is a great place to jot down reminders, scribble quick notes, or communicate with your spouse. Kids will also like using a whiteboard marker to design “masks” on whoever is standing in front of the mirrors. Mirrors and even glass surfaces are readily wiped clean of whiteboard markers.
Make a list of things to remember on your desk:
Get an acrylic table pad or a glass table and use it to scribble notes, phone numbers, to-do lists, and anything else directly onto your computer. As you finish tasks, wipe them away.
A standard dry erase pen can be utilised for a range of creative applications, as you’ve seen. Your only limitation is your imagination. Be cautious before using your whiteboard marker on a new surface because some surfaces may not wipe effectively.
