What are the benefits of using a shower board over chalk board in the classroom?

Answer by  Bronagh (666)

If by "shower board" you mean using a piece of white laminate board over a chalkboard, you are essentially installing a low cost white board that can be written on with erasable markers, thus eliminating chalk dust and debris and allowing the use of various colors for writing.

One major benefit is that it tends to be less messy. Dry erase pens have caps, while chalk boards use chalk, which can get all over the place.

For one thing, the chalk makes a lot of dust. It tends to be very messy. The noise of mails on the board are annoying too.

Teacher who have severe allergies are spared in the long-term and the cleaning staff doesn't erase the work during their nightly clean-ups.
