[aisle] Tables with Whiteboard Tops?

[Tiffany Ouellette]

We actually have a couple 21st century classrooms throughout the district
that have these and have not had any issues with them. If they are high
quality whiteboard tables, there is minimal maintenance if you "train" your
people to clean up after themselves. In my high school level classroom, I
keep dry erase eraser cloths at each table, and my students (and staff that
come use it) are very good about wiping them off once they are done. I
personally love them and so do my students (especially when brainstorming
essays or projects).

Sincerely,
