White Boards

One of the best tools we have in the classroom is our personal white boards. We use them often and it is valuable in the sense that it gives each student an opportunity to truly participate in whole group lessons. It allows each student to share their learning in a way that everyone can see. It also helps students stay focused and engaged. They know that they are the only ones responsible for the work they produce on their white boards which gives them a larger sense of responsibility. Below we are using the white boards to classify and organize shapes.
