You can buy rolls of removable sticky-back dry erase surface to turn any wall into a giant whiteboard so it's quite possible to implement this idea without needing to drill holes in anything or paint anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-31899285611297538832013-01-25T17:43:47.815-05:002013-01-25T17:43:47.815-05:00Nick

For the past couple of years, I've wanted to get some Idea Paint and paint the desktops, similar to what @Mr. Crandell-Tanner has set up. The idea of using Evernote to capture them makes sense, especially since Evernote can search their hand-written notes in pictures. Did you pay for the paint yourself, or were you able to use school Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-19370278814598309832013-01-25T02:55:27.528-05:002013-01-25T02:55:27.528-05:00So inspiring - thank you.

This has been great for group brainstorming and writing - many markers, one canvas. Your idea of using Evernote as a way for students to collect and keep this work is brilliant. I also like your idea of having a space set aside for goals, perhaps one of my tall windows would serve thatMr Crandell-Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297375701571584185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-42389954840778414522013-01-24T10:30:07.266-05:002013-01-24T10:30:07.266-05:00Just awesome!
