Here is some info that Jay sent us on making sure that staff and students refrain from using markers on electronic whiteboards. Be especially careful to notify subs. One teacher this year had a sub the day his Promethean board was installed. The first thing the Guest Teacher did was to write on the board.

Here are some suggestions from Promethean Planet’s Forum:
“Here’s what I’ve seen and heard as I travel to schools:
1) drape an actual sheet or some type of cover over the board
2) post bright orange signs on the board with the international sign for “do not” – circle with line through it – use markers on the board
3) have no markers anywhere around the board at all
4) assign a couple kids in each class to immediately tell a substitute teacher not to write on the board
The rest might just be good fortune…”
“If you use a “fitted sheet” the elastic around the corners will hold it on the board.”
Hope this helps, Jay
