whiteboards

Meeting room panels

Whiteboards are smooth, glossy surfaces for writing with erasable markers.

They replaced chalkboards in most offices and classrooms during the late twentieth century.

The verb means to brainstorm or diagram ideas on such a surface: Let's whiteboard this before the meeting.

Interactive whiteboards connect to computers for digital annotation.
