Reasons to allow students to use the windows in the CS lab as dry-erase boards:
- An easily erasable and reusable surface for brainstorming is very helpful when programming and doing math problems. This is why there are so many whiteboards in software development offices.
- It encourages team work, which not only creates a better
learning environment, but replicates real world conditions.
- There is no need to buy an expensive whiteboard. The
only additional cost would be window cleaner, which the school already has.
- Several students already bring their own dry-erase
markers and erasers.
- The placement in the room is perfect. There is better
lighting than in the corner with the bookshelf. It is visible to everyone,
unlike the wall by the printer. There are no desks or computers to obstruct
usage, unlike with the announcements board.
- The markers will not damage the glass. (Yes, even
permanent marker can be removed if someone makes that mistake)

Several students have reached out to tell me how much they value having more space to map out their code during study sessions. I am currently preparing a formal proposal to show the administration that this change is both practical and beneficial for our collaborative workflow.

Seeing this conversation grow confirms how many of us see the potential in our shared workspace. It is encouraging to realize that such a simple change could genuinely improve how we approach our work together.

The whiteboards are always full and it is super annoying. Just let us use the glass it works the same and we have plenty of space.
Give us more room to work. Please!

totaly agree. my group had to sit on the floor by the printer last week just to sketch our logic out. it would be so much easier to just use the windows.
