Whiteboard Table by Matt Dumbroff

Among the many pieces of unique furniture in our classroom, today a new one was added. This new piece of furniture is a whiteboard table located directly in the middle of the classroom. Immediately the question is whether or not this is a legitimate leaning tool, or rather just a distraction. However, the answer lies somewhere in between. This truly depends on the maturity of the people using this tool rather than the piece of furniture itself. English is all about ideas, and this dry erase table can be an amazing tool for jotting down notes or ideas as they come to integrate into a paper. On the other hand this resource can be very easily abused and used as a distraction rather than a resource for learning. With proper use this is an amazing tool, and a great addition to our classroom!

    I agree completely! It's a fun way to write down notes quickly and then later you can transcribe them into your notebook.

    I agree. However, I think it is more of a distraction because it would be a pain to jot things down on the table, but then have to re-copy it into your notes anyway.

    One must make sure that they are using this learning tool correctly or, as you previously stated, it can be abused.

    I agree, the maturity of the students will come into play, but hopefully everyone will learn to use these tables as a fun learning tool!
