I would be delighted to see folders within folders in the future. It was a great step forward when 'folders' were introduced so that I could store the different whiteboards for different classes. What overall improvements have you seen with Whiteboard.fi? Students appreciate being able to 'go back a page' - once a static whiteboard is wiped, there's no going back. I am never without a board pen (as long as I have my graphics tablet!). When I write on Whiteboard.fi my handwriting looks like it does on a real whiteboard. What is the best thing about using Whiteboard.fi in a classroom setting? Using Whiteboard.fi is now my normal way of working, having written on a whiteboard in the classroom for 25 years." Having been working in-school for many months, where at 5 minutes notice the lesson may need to be live-streamed for students who had been set home, I wanted to have a set-up which I would be using in the classroom day to day as normal and then the addition of joining the lesson remotely would pose no additional burden for the students or for me. Used in conjunction with a platform for sharing the skeleton and annotated whiteboards before and after a lesson, for all students, makes reviewing ideas afterward, including for students who missed a lesson, really easy.
This makes the lesson feel very familiar when I annotate them during the discussion of the lesson. For students with special needs, the slides can then be easily pdf-ed and sent in advance.

How did you originally discover Whiteboard.fi?ĭuring the first few months of this academic year, I tried, along with other colleagues, many different platforms and this is the one that I chose and I am delighted to have made that choice. I wanted to use a platform that made the lessons feel as similar as possible to in-school learning from the students' point of view and as reassuring as possible from my point of view to mitigating all the other technological uncertainties that teachers were managing lesson, by lesson. I have used Whiteboard.fi over the last few months to help manage teaching classes of 30 students whilst being based as the teacher, at home. What is the biggest challenge you face in your role?

(Do not use chalk markers or colored chalk when seasoning your board).Ģ) After you coat the board in a layer of chalk repeat this process, but this time in side to side motion.ģ) Erase your chalkboard with a dry cloth or eraser and create your masterpieces. Luckily this is a quick process! So quick, it can be done in 3 easy steps.ġ) Take a piece of chalk on its side and swipe it across the board in an up and down motion covering the entire slate. By seasoning your board prior to use you can prevent any of those lingering lines or marks. Therefore, our chalkboards are porous, meaning they have tiny dips and crevices that chalk can stick around in long after your chalk art has been erased. Our slates are high-end chalkboards made from resin coated metal, much like the heavy duty chalkboards seen in classrooms (not spraypainted like other boards). It helps chalk go on smoother and protects your board.
Think of it as priming a wall before you paint. Seasoning your chalkboard is a vital step in preparing the board for fabulous chalk art.
