writing board

Wall-mounted erasable panel

A writing board is a flat surface designed for writing or drawing, typically mounted vertically.

The term covers chalkboards, whiteboards, and similar surfaces used in classrooms and offices.

It also refers to portable boards that provide a firm surface for writing while holding papers in place—what's more commonly called a clipboard.
