If computers are around chalk will be a no-no as it makes dust that gets into the computer...
Best thing I found with dry erase (I'm a corporate level instructor, I use dry erase a lot) is to erase with a paper towel. If you must use the eraser it wants to be cleaned occasionally. Spray it with the board cleaner and scrub with a paper towel, it'll take 2-3 days to dry, don't use it until it does... Aaaand, permanent marker on a dry erase board can be erased by covering it with dry erase marker first! -Curt Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 16:53:54 -0500 From: Tim C <bb...@crone.us> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - computer issues Message-ID: <aanlkti=u953+6wixvjp8riaowztahs6suajsveriq...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We get our dry erase markers at the Dollar Tree. $0.25 each, plus tax, but you have to buy four. I personally hate chalkboards, have ever since elementary school - dry erase was a big step up for me, in the way of disposable writing. Before my company moved I'd scavenged three of the 4x6 (? give or take) dry erase boards, so I had a wraparound in my office, and another rolling whiteboard in the lab. Easy to keep lists, write sample code, draw diagrams, etc., and I only occasionally ran out of space. [After the move I'm down to one, have to wait until there's a resignation/retirement to collect more.] I am using the same set of markers I got three years ago, give or take a couple that have been removed and replaced.
