dry erase

Marker board type

Dry erase describes markers and surfaces designed to work together—the ink wipes off cleanly without water or solvents.

A dry erase board (or whiteboard) accepts dry erase markers, and the writing can be erased with a cloth or felt eraser.

The system replaced chalkboards in many classrooms and offices: We brainstormed on the dry erase board.
