Me personally I would use post 'em notes with some kind of a newsprint pad if a larger writing surface was needed.
I think finding a white board is going to be a bigger pain if it's going to be impromptu at a moving location. Any glass surface will work just like a white board with most of those markers and clean up. But that idea might upset who ever owns the glass being written on. -Kevin On Sep 25, 2013, at 12:31 PM, Maria McKinley <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that would be a pain for anyone who didn't have a touchscreen, and > even with a touchscreen, most portable devices don't really have enough > screen real estate to make it practical.
