Start with how the board will be used day-to-day and where it will hang.

• Surface type: You’ll find glass whiteboards and traditional dry-erase surfaces. Glass can offer a sleek look and easy wiping; traditional boards are familiar and often lighter.
• Magnetic or not: Some 6' x 4' boards accept magnets, others don’t. Check the item title and details for “magnetic.”
• Visibility: Consider room lighting and seating distance. White surfaces give high contrast with dark markers; darker glass can reduce glare in bright spaces.
• Mounting: Large boards are typically wall-mounted; many include hardware and a marker tray. Review the product’s mounting instructions for wall type compatibility.

Comparing specs and photos on the product page can help you decide.

It depends on the specific board. Glass whiteboards come in both magnetic and non-magnetic versions on product pages.

• Magnetic glass boards: These are designed to hold compatible magnets for notes and accessories. Some sets may include magnets; check what’s in the box.
• Non-magnetic glass boards: These won’t hold magnets. Consider using sticky notes or clips on a nearby rail instead.
• Check the listing: Look for “magnetic” in the title or description. Product photos and specs usually call this out.

If magnets are important for your classroom workflow, verify the board’s magnetic capability before purchasing and look for accessories recommended on the item page.

A 6 x 9 clipboard is a compact option that works with several common sizes.

• Half-letter paper (5.5" x 8.5"): Fits well for checklists, rosters, and forms.
• Steno pads (around 6" x 9"): Designed to match this clipboard size.
• Small notepads and tickets: Receipts, passes, and index-card groupings can be clipped neatly.

For full letter sheets (8.5" x 11"), a 6 x 9 clipboard will be too small, so pages will extend beyond the edges. If you need to keep standard letter paper fully supported, consider a larger clipboard, but for portability around a classroom, 6 x 9 is a handy, lightweight choice.

1. Daily wipe: Use a dry eraser or microfiber cloth to remove fresh marks.
2. Light clean: For shadowing, apply a dry-erase board cleaner and wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads.
3. Deeper refresh: For glass whiteboards, a glass-safe cleaner can help maintain clarity. For traditional boards, use cleaners labeled for dry-erase surfaces.
4. Let it dry: Allow the surface to air dry before writing again.
5. Marker choice: Use dry-erase markers only; permanent inks can be difficult to remove.

These steps can help keep the surface readable, but results may vary based on marker type and how long writing sits on the board. Always follow the care guidance on the product page.

A 30-pocket chart can streamline routines for devices and supplies.

• Organize gear: Store calculators, cell phones, markers, or index cards by student number.
• Manage turn-ins: Use pockets for hall passes, exit tickets, or make-up work.
• Label clearly: Add names or numbers so students find pockets quickly.
• Mount securely: Hang on a wall, bulletin rail, or over a door per the item’s instructions. Distribute weight evenly and avoid overloading.

Check the chart’s dimensions (for example, around 33.5" x 24.5" on some models) against your space, and review included hardware or hanging options on the product page to choose a setup that fits your classroom.
