Quartet IdeaShare Electronic Whiteboard Provides A Glimpse Into the Future

Google “whiteboards” and you’re more and more likely to find links to a new generation of computer-compatible boards like the Quartet IdeaShare. This new technology enables you to do a couple key things you can’t do with a traditional markerboard:

• Save what you’ve already written on your board to your computer so you can erase and write something new with a clear conscience
• Share your ideas word for word with colleagues across the country and around the globe via PDA, printout, or live web meeting

As a result, you can document all your presentations and streams of consciousness for future reference. And as corporations expand and go global, an electronic board like the Quartet IdeaShare presents the perfect way for you to bridge the physical gap between employees in different offices.

Evolution can take place in babysteps, then suddenly advance in leaps and bounds. It took time for people to switch from chalkboards to whiteboards, and now we’re experiencing the next step in mass visual communication. Try out a Quartet IdeaShare for yourself and take a glimpse into the future today.

To Buy or not to Buy... That is the question when it comes to facility floor mats. On one hand, renting saves you money in the short term. But over time, rental costs add up and eventually exceed the costs of buying a quality floor mat. It’s all in the numbers: If you need a 3’x5’ mat for 5 locations over a 3 year* period, here’s what it could cost you to Rent instead of Buy the right floor mat: Rent ($6/week) Buy** $4680.00 $284.00 Do the math: In this case, you can save $4396.00 over 3 years when you Buy instead of Rent. That’s a savings of almost 94%.

1. US Markerboard goes Green What does it mean to go green? Going green means choosing high-quality products that don't compromise the quality of our environment. And it's not just a passing fad - when you choose to buy green products, you're making a concerted effort to achieve the right balance for yourself and for the planet. US Markerboard thought about how to help you find that balance, and we came to a few important conclusions: Green markerboards, whiteboards, supplies, desks, and furniture give off lower emissions and often use recycled content and materials from old products, thereby reducing waste. By making these products available to you, we provide the office supplies and school furniture you need to go green. The more you buy and use, the greener our world becomes.

2. Screen Green Exchange Program™ Recycling for projection screens In today's eco-conscious world, there's a growing demand for more user-friendly recycling programs. In fact, did you know that you can even recycle your old projection screen? It's an industry first that's offered to you by Da-Lite Corporation, the leader in projection screens and presentation products. The process has been designed to make disposing of your old projection screen easy and painless. The Da-Lite Screen Green Exchange Program™ offers free recycling of any existing screen when you replace the old screen with a new installation from Da-Lite.

3. Seating and Table Arrangements Bring Your Guests Together We all know real estate comes down to 3 key factors: location, location, and location. So at your next spring event, your guests naturally want to know where they're sitting so they can figure out how far away the buffet line is, and who they'll be talking to for the duration. For that reason alone, seating and table arrangements can make or break your event. In addition, you need to assess the size and shape of your event space and choose round or square tables to balance the number of people being seated. However, there's another very important dynamic to consider - flow of conversation based on seating arrangements. For example, the right arrangement at a company outing can encourage people from different departments to get acquainted on a personal level. And at weddings, you can put together guests who share something in common to enhance the flow of friendly conversation. Having a seating plan also saves time before an event begins, so guests don't have to play musical chairs. So whether you're a bona fide event planner or just looking for different ideas on where to go or how to choose the right venue, click here for some great suggestions.

Paint A Picture with our Teacher's Easels

Maybe you think easels are just for artists. But don't teachers paint pictures for their students too? It's especially true when you're interacting with younger students, who often rely more on visuals than text. US Markerboard offers teacher's easels equipped with a big magnetic dry erase board and adjustable hooks for all your teaching supplements.

Our teacher's value easel also features a book ledge to prop up and display storybooks, 4 casters that roll your easel just about anywhere, and 4 storage bins to hold toys, props and anything else you need to make a memorable presentation. So when you need to bring your A-game for every lesson, you have all your props, equipment and books in one place so you can stay on track and hold your class's attention.

Also, keep in mind that this teacher's easel comes as one item in one of our new combo deals. So instead of spending time piecing together individual items, we offer you complete sets of products at significant savings. Buy a teacher's value easel on its own or get one as part of a combo. Either way, you get a great product that'll be a fixture in your classroom for years to come.
