More
and more schools are discovering our amazing markerboard
surface. Just write and wipe. Teachers enjoy teaching when
students respond using our markerboards. It keeps everyone
involved and makes learning and presenting fun. Our 30 years of
EXPERIENCE in making dry erase boards enables us to offer
you superior response boards. They are made from solid wood
products and all edges and corners are rounded for safety and
durability. We are the SOLE
SOURCE
for our dry erase response boards & lap boards. Our classroom
sets are affordable and economical. If, before purchasing,
you think you have found a better deal elsewhere let us know.
We will not be undersold. We shop the competition so you don't
have to.
Unlike
low quality student write and wipe boards, our surfaces are
"GOOF PROOF". Even if the wrong
marker is accidentally used to write on them, they can still be
cleaned off. Also, say goodbye forever to toxic smelly
markers! We offer only NON TOXIC
and
ULTRA LOW ODOR
dry erase markers, and they have a long
shelf life too!
Regardless of
the subject you teach,
ask your question and every student can
respond with their student response board.
