Writable Surfaces
Writable Surfaces
Problem
There are surfaces all over school buildings – walls, tables, floors, etc. – and they are often underutilized for their potential to impact learning. Making learning visible can be an important ingredient in authentic collaboration.
Solution
Seeing surfaces as opportunities for creative, interactive, collaborative learning generates boundless possibilities for learners of all ages. Whether it’s whiteboard tabletops, writable glass, touchscreens, or more, writable surfaces enliven and maximize learning spaces.
