The first thing you need to figure out is what your board will be used for. Will it be for occasional use or for heavy traffic use? Once you determine that you need to decide whether you want a mounted board or a free standing board. There are two types of board’s melamine and porcelain steel.

The melamine board is for occasional use because the clear coat on the top tends to wear away after a while. The porcelain steel is better if you will be using your board on a regular basis. It is a little more expensive but it is better in the long run.

The next thing to decide is whether you are able to mount the board on a wall, or if you have the space you can have a freestanding board. If you are a teacher you may want the lap boards for the kids.

You may also want a white board skin, which is something you can put over the old chalkboards. The reason that most people have changed over to white boards is because they are chalk dust free, which is great for allergy sufferers and it protects the computers.

The main thing you want to look for in a white board is the sturdiness, the ghosting or fading effect and the durability. Check your budget and get the board that best suits your needs and your pocket. Once you have it narrowed down to the type of board you need, you must remember to take care of it so it will last a long time.

Stylish Whiteboard

A Whiteboard interactive is a great interactive device that connects with a computer and a projector. The PC relays to the projector which then displays on the screen of the board. Users can either use a finger, pen, mouse, or similar device to navigate or write.

Many classrooms and learning environments now have them; for example electronic whiteboards can be found in executive meetings, cooperative and work groups, the quarters of the training for the professional sports and more. If you are looking into innovative back to school bulletin boards this is it and there are several advantages to upgrading to an electronic board instead of the standard whiteboard.

Direct Board Writing:

The interactive bulletin board can be accessed directly just like a blackboard with no messy erase and the touch screen is especially useful and provides more function and flexibility than traditional writing (so it is not necessary to resort neither to the mouse nor to the keyboard to interact with software).

The Great Size Of The Touch Screen Facilitates The Interaction With The Programs:

As I stated before that there are many more benefits involved using this electronic whiteboard technology instead of traditional writing. Well, one of the main ones is what you could call a triple interaction. For example: in a training environment an educator would stand before the computer and whiteboard, some students would also stand before the interactive slate and the rest of the class could be participating from their seats in real-time through software.

Associated Software For Electronic Boards:

Software provides new and increasing functionality: capture of images and screens, zooms, educative groups,

several resources, conversion of manual text to printed text. The interactive digital slate contributes to increased participation and debate, knowledge is transferred faster and attention is increased, retention and understanding of information is also. With more advancements in whiteboard technology it’s probably going to

become a necessity instead of an option before long. So now is the perfect time to upgrade for the students going back to school.

The Next Level School Bulletin Board

Rust-oleum is a multi-purpose paint that first and foremost obviously eliminates the potential of rust but aside from that main function it has very universal applications. Rust-oleum can be applied to pretty much any surface: marine, auto, blackboard, and any other indoor/outdoor surface of use.

However, one of the most interesting features is that it can create an instant whiteboard surface anywhere. You can apply this paint behind a phone, a clock, on a wall, or anywhere that a person would want to make notes, write goals, or use for any instructional purpose. Another obvious purpose would be to resurface an expensive or custom whiteboard.

Some Technical Information on Rust-oleum Paint:

Rust-oleum is a smooth dry erase whiteboard paint that creates a very hard finish and has a writable/erasable surface. When the surface is thoroughly dry simply use a dry-erase marker and a dry-erase eraser like a normal whiteboard. The application is simple and the paint does not create a very strong odor – so indoor use is safe. Use Rust-oleum on indoor surfaces like drywall, wood, cement, metal, and masonite with no issues.

Best Uses:

Use the specialized whiteboard paint creatively indoors in places like playrooms, bedrooms, classrooms, offices, etc. Also use around objects such as phones and computers, basically anywhere to stay organized.

Application:

As soon as you get the paint you will see that a part A and Part B must be mixed, these mix easily and when mixed are immediately ready for painting. Apply the paint to a smooth surface and allow it to dry for about 2 days before you use any markings.

Simple Q&A:

Q: Should I use Rust-Oleum over a used dry-erase surface?

A: No, it is best to thoroughly sand and clean the previous surface then apply the paint for a brand new finish (use 120 followed by 220 sand paper grit for the job)
