Great for Hands-On Learners

The whiteboard's tools and features provide a means for students to interact with their classmates and the course material. Students can come up and point out the words in front of their classmates, using the whiteboard or dry-erase markers to find key words or perform on-screen math problems. These interactions, movements, and activities engage tactile learners, increasing comprehension and participation.

More than just a dry-erase board!

Often, whiteboards are purchased for classrooms and libraries with the best of intentions, but wind up being used primarily as dry-erase boards when compatible items are unavailable. Perma-Bound solves this problem, offering whiteboard-compatible products that enable those devices to live up to their full potential!

The New Big Book

Unlock the possibilities and lock in your students' interest, all with one product! The new activities are perfect for beginning readers, and for in-class sit-down read-alongs. You can load the interactive whiteboard activity CD into your computer and display it as an interactive big book that's as big as your whiteboard will allow. The whiteboard's built-in functions let you unlock endless possibilities for in-class instruction.

Benefits for ELL and ESL Students

These interactive whiteboard activities can help you engage ELL and ESL students as well. Language learners can follow along in their own print books while they watch you point out the words on the board, use the whiteboard markers to underline and highlight certain terms or words, and even use the interactive whiteboard activity's built-in text-to-speech function to help sound out the words, if applicable.
