If you’re not going to go with smart board technology, the coolest thing I’ve seen installed in a school recently is a glass dry-erase board.
It’s mounted to the wall with 1” spacers so that you can hang things down behind to use as templates or semi-permanent additions to whatever you’re working with on the board surface.
Examples include:
1) hanging lined tag board behind the glass so the teacher doesn’t have to keep redrawing the guide lines for handwriting demonstrations; or
(2) hanging a map behind the glass so the teacher or students can draw or make notes on the surface without damaging the map.
