Gone are the days when school teachers would use a chalk board at the front of the class to aid in their teaching. Firstly, chalk boards have been replaced by white boards and now there are new and innovative ways of teaching which have come about by the introduction of mini whiteboards. Read on to find out more.

Whiteboards began to appear on the market in the 1960's, but at this time they were only wet wipe boards as dry wipe markers were not introduced until the 1970's when the manufacturers saw potential in this method of dry erase. Chalk boards were always used as the main form of teaching aid for schools and in the workplace. One of the biggest issues that arose in the late 1990's was that the chalk dust produced when using these boards was affecting students and teachers alike in a negative way. It became obvious that there were quite serious health implications from the dust off these boards and so this is when white boards became widely used in educational establishments as well as in the workplace, and by this time white boards were established well enough that they were more cost effective so could easily be placed in each school room.
