5 Creative Uses for Dry Erase White Boards
Dry magnetic board hould be a part of every office or classroom. They're one of the most versatile
communication tools on the planet. Here are five creative uses for whiteboards.

#1: Brainstorming

A white board is easy to see by a large group of people. It's also easy to erase, so ideas can be expanded
upon or replaced. It's the perfect tool for a group brainstorming session.

#2: Presentations

White boards are fantastic for dynamic presentations. PowerPoint slides work great for "set in stone"
presentations. If you want audience participations or want to decide the course of your presentation on
the spot, the whiteboard is the tool of choice.

#3: Reminders and Notes

Your whiteboard can also be used to leave notes for other staff members. For example, staff members
can write reminders for meeting times or due dates for projects. Once a reminder or note is no longer
relevant, it can simply be erased.

#4: Process Mapping

If you're mapping out a new process, the white board can be the perfect tool. For example, let's say
you're putting your organization's org chart on paper for the first time. Before creating it in Photoshop,
Excel or a mindmapping tool, just create it on a whiteboard. You'll be able to quickly move things around
and fix mistakes. Once you have the org chart finalized, then and only then should you port it over to the
final form.

#5: Sketching and Design

Thinking about creating a new banner for the company website? Need a new business card layout? A
whiteboard can be a great tool for sketching out ideas. You can even draw approximations, then take a
picture and send it to your designer.

There are an almost endless number of different uses for whiteboards. Make sure your office has this
incredibly versatile tool.
