As some here also do, I use small whiteboards for teams to report their answers simultaneously. They're not real cheap at $10 to $15 each, but I found a workable substitute. Home Depot (and presumably other such stores, but I had no luck at Lowes), sell "smooth panelboard" in 4'x8' sheets for about about $12. It is brown on one side but the reverse is white and very smooth. A dry-erase marker writes fine and erases great on it. For another $2 Home Depot trimmed half of this sheet into 16 one foot square boards. With some erasers from Staples on-line store for $3 each and dry-erase markers from school, I'm set. I also got some liquid board cleaner from Staples. - Bill -- *------------------------------------------------------* | Bill Goffe [log in to unmask] | | Department of Economics voice: (315) 312-3444 | | SUNY Oswego fax: (315) 312-5444 | | 416 Mahar Hall http://cook.rfe.org | | Oswego, NY 13126 | *--------*------------------------------------------------------*-----------* | "Hey, Vanessa, what are you doing tonight?" | | -- Glenn Martin, to his wife.
