Pictured: Whiteboards of various types, sizes, and shapes. Shown are large and small whiteboards with markers and eraser, two whiteboard notebooks, and three laminated (whiteboard) index cards with Spanish words written on them: CUANDO, DONDE, and COMO.
I own no pens nor pencils, for what would be their purpose? The scratches they make on paper are not legible, even my own. I use markers, markers with nibs of various sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. Markers of different colors and styles. Markers of different types.
What about devices? There are so many apps for jotting down reminders and lists and even essays.
I have no patience for accessing apps just to jot down an idea or a reminder. There are too many steps,too much time, and it all requires a charge which sometimes is not there, and then there is finding the darn thing. Where did I put it?
I prefer whiteboards.
A simple child’s whiteboard is just so handy and easy to use. I write big and bold and my words are saved.
I use dry erase markers for those things I need only briefly. A tissue or cloth (and sometimes a sleeve) will remove the writing easily and cleanly. If I need to keep those words or pictures a bit longer without them being accidentally erased, I use wet erase markers. A moistened cloth will clean up the space nicely. And for long-term preservation, I use a Sharpie or other permanent marker. But even that can be wiped away with just a little rubbing alcohol.
Whiteboards come in all shapes and sizes too. I keep a small whiteboard spiral-bound notebook in my purse along with a wet erase marker. There are even white erase index cards available. It is easy to make your own whiteboard for the creative people.
Whiteboards or devices? What do you use?

And I will be sending her home with some new supplies – like a big eraser and some special markers.
