markerboards

Erasable writing panels

Markerboards are smooth, glossy writing surfaces designed for use with dry-erase markers.

Unlike chalkboards, they allow writing to be wiped away cleanly without dust.

Common in classrooms, offices, and conference rooms: She sketched the timeline on the markerboard.

Also called whiteboards or dry-erase boards.
