Mini Whiteboards are a great instant data collection tool in the classroom. While they can be used for individual student check-ins for problem solving, they are also very effective at collecting group feedback. Students are encouraged to take risks with their answers as the class will not see what each other writes or draws. These can instantly check for understanding and can drive the next section of your lesson. Students could also be prompted to reflect on a partner or group set of responses.

Mini Whiteboards help teachers:

• Gain instant feedback to help drive a lesson

• Perform quick understanding checks at critical points in a lesson

• Assess individual student understandings with a quiet check-in option

• Mini Whiteboards can be used for complex responses, but a + or -, Yes or No, 1-5 Scale, or tick mark or cross are just as useful!

• Trivia games can get loud and at times, overwhelming to more reserved students. Mini Whiteboards allow everyone to answer more quietly

• Mini Whiteboards can be kept at a student desk or area and can be used to request spot checks on maths, vocabulary, or quietly checking in with students about their understanding

• Trade the Mini White boards in partners or small groups so students can add to each others' work!
