Markers for smart board
(38 products found)FAQ: How to choose markers for smart boards and classroom use
How do I pick markers for smart boards and classroom use?
Begin by identifying the marker type you need: whiteboard markers for daily notes, double‑sided marker sets for versatile drawing, or highlighters for emphasis. Check for quick drying ink, erasability on your board surface, and sweat resistance during long class sessions. In this catalog you’ll find multi‑color sets designed for classrooms, with options including whiteboard and marker/highlighter varieties to suit different teaching styles.
What’s the difference between markers, whiteboard markers, and china markers?
Whiteboard markers are designed to erase cleanly from whiteboards, while china markers write on non‑porous surfaces like acetate or overhead transparencies and can be wiped away with solvent. Markers‑highlighters focus on highlighting text with bright, opaque ink. The listed items include sets in multiple colors and finishes to cover standard board work, highlighting, and temporary markings.
Which sets are best for teachers vs students?
For teachers, larger multi‑color sets with clear, bold ink help ensure visibility from the back of the room. Students benefit from compact sets with a variety of colors and easy grip. The catalog includes 60‑, 24‑, and 168‑color options across markers and highlighters, allowing you to pick based on classroom size and activity type.
How should I store markers to extend their life?
Keep caps tightly closed when not in use to prevent the nibs from drying out. Store markers upright to reduce ink pooling and protect the tips. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade ink quality. Regularly test markers and replace any that skip or smear to maintain consistent classroom performance.
Can these markers work on different boards and surfaces?
Most markers listed are designed for standard whiteboards and similar non‑porous surfaces, making them versatile for classrooms and presentations. If you use glass or laminated boards, confirm erasability and compatibility with the marker type before purchasing. The assortment provides a range to match common classroom setups and teaching requirements.
