white board

Dry-erase writing surface

A white board is a smooth, glossy surface for writing with dry-erase markers, typically mounted on a wall in classrooms and offices.

Unlike chalkboards, white boards erase cleanly with a cloth.

The term also appears as one word: whiteboard.

Let me sketch this out on the white board.
