When you think of actively engaging students, you usually think about "hands on" activity's. Things like class wide games and small group activities are a few of the things that come readily to mind when you are planning to actively engage your students. These are fun and educational ways to reach students. However, games and group activates may not reach every student. An idea that Mrs. Brown uses that engages all of the students in a group, but each student is allowed to work independently are working with white boards.

Each child has there own one foot by one foot square of erasable white board. The children really love working independently on their personal board. But since the class is working together on something they are still engaging each other. I feel that this is a very effective tool for the class and look forward to them in my own classroom.
