Create Dry-Erase & Magnetic Workstations with Think Boards
Across the country, many school districts are implementing new policies that encourage students to move beyond their desks and actively engage in class. Why? Research continually shows that students who move, interact, and physically write on whiteboards or draw their ideas tend to retain information more effectively.
Active participation, including movement and collaborative work, has been linked to better learning outcomes, increased engagement, and stronger academic performance. As schools adopt these strategies, they need solutions that make it easy to create interactive learning environments that support physical movement while enhancing the learning process.
Think Boards provide the ideal solution for schools looking to set up flexible, dynamic workstations that encourage hands-on learning and collaboration. Our dry-erase and magnetic surfaces can transform any classroom into an interactive environment that supports active learning.
Why Think Boards for Workstations?
Think Boards are high-quality, peel-and-stick dry-erase films that easily convert any smooth surface into a writable and erasable space. Whether you're designing individual stations or creating collaborative areas, Think Boards offer the flexibility to design dynamic, functional spaces without the need for expensive renovations.
At Narragansett, Think Boards were used to set up math workstations, allowing students to actively engage with their lessons. This setup not only enhanced the student experience but also helped teachers facilitate group work and collaboration in a mobile, interactive way. Here’s how Think Boards can help create productive learning environments in your classroom:
1. Create Flexible Workstations
Think Boards can be applied to any flat wall, table, or other surfaces, giving you the flexibility to design workstations in multiple areas of the room. Whether you're focusing on problem-solving, group discussions, or independent practice, Think Boards help create functional and movable learning spaces that support hands-on learning.
2. Dry-Erase and Magnetic Functionality
Each Think Board is a dry-erase surface, allowing students to write, erase, and re-write freely. This is especially useful for subjects like math, where students can work through problems and showcase their reasoning. Plus, Think Board surfaces are magnetic, making it easy to attach charts, tools, and visual aids during lessons for enhanced learning.
3. Enhance Collaboration and Interaction
With Think Board workstations, students can move between different stations, collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together. This encourages group work and peer learning, while also allowing teachers to easily manage small groups or individual tasks.
4. Easy Installation and Customization
Think Boards are easy to install with their peel-and-stick feature, and can be repositioned as needed. There’s no need for drilling or permanent fixtures, making installation quick and simple. You can customize the boards' size and placement to fit your classroom’s specific layout and teaching needs.
5. A Cleaner, More Modern Classroom
Think Boards not only improve the functionality of your classroom but also contribute to a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. Their sleek, easy-to-clean surfaces reduce clutter compared to traditional paper-based activities and help create a bright, inviting space.
6. Durable and Student-Friendly
Think Boards are designed to withstand daily use. Their durable surface allows students to write, erase, and attach materials without damaging the board. Teachers will appreciate how easy it is to maintain these boards and keep the classroom looking tidy.
7. Encourage Active Learning
Think Boards are the perfect solution for creating active learning stations. They help support hands-on learning by encouraging students to move, collaborate, and engage with their lessons in creative ways.
Conclusion
Whether you're fostering collaboration, enhancing student engagement, or organizing your classroom more effectively, Think Boards are the solution you need. With easy installation, customizable options, and both dry-erase and magnetic functionality, Think Boards help create flexible workstations that promote active learning and collaboration.
