Did you put the white boards in dry erase pocket sleeves with a small erasure, or did you use a cloth? What works best. I teach special ed and they can be a handful with supplies. The most streamlined set up for them is the best. ;-)
I use the dry erase pocket sleeves with cut pieces of microfiber cloth. I find that students tend to mess with the small erasure. Btw if buying microfiber cloth, buy the black ones to prevent students from drawing on them.
Concept is interesting. I always struggle a bit with mini whiteboards as the halcyon of formative assessment. They need a pupil to be able to write. That doesn't mean they don't have the domain specific knowledge if they are just too scared to hold up a spelling they don't know.
I don't understand this: "They need a pupil to be able to write." You mean like partner work?
I tend to tell students ahead of time that they are not being graded on their whiteboard responses. It's important to make it low-stakes that way students can feel less anxious about making mistakes.
Thanks so much for the clear and detailed write up.
No problem! :) Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Thank you for that tip! That makes a ton of sense with the microfiber vs. erasures. Easier to replace too.
Thanks! Maybe I will see if I can get school to pay for it.
Is your school using Carousel or are you doing it individually? It looks like a great teaching platform.
I am doing it individually for now. It really is a great platform! It is done by people who are still in the classroom which I very much appreciate.

To write on a white board a pupil has to both be physically able to write and confident enough to hold up what they produce.
