“On the first day, I was in one of the new buildings here on campus where the classrooms are actually painted in a type of paint that allows you to use whiteboard markers on the walls. I cannot describe how awesome I found this to be; the students seemed amused at my enthusiasm about this.”

I know someone who has this in the hallway of her flat – the place is like a constantly changing art gallery. It really is great fun.

Yeah, a friend of mine has “blackboard paint” in the hall of their flat. Whiteboard paint would just be some next-level type ish. It’d be hard to fight “whiteboard sprawl” as youd be tempted to never erase anything and just write all over the place, or at least I would.

Cool! We used to have a table that was painted in chalkboard paint. Then we painted our old dishwasher. That was fun.
I would love to teach in this classroom.
