Magnetic Ruler Measures Up

While we love this product at ASCIV, along with our new magnetic whiteboard facelift throughout our offices in Burwood, we decided to co-opt Mary Wright (a teacher at Western Autistic’s St Albans North Baseroom) to put the Versatile Teaching Products magnetic whiteboard ruler to a practical classroom test for us.

Mary likes the product so much she won’t give it back. Here’s why:

  • Good size - can be handled comfortably but still rules a line half the width of a whiteboard.
  • Bubble levels simplify horizontal and vertical ruling.
  • Tough enough to stand quite a few bumps and drops.
  • Magnet keeps ruler in place on the whiteboard surface - always ready to hand.
  • Magnet also provides a safety feature in that the ruler can be positioned well out of childrens reach.

It’s also terrific for holding up butcher’s paper or children’s posters as well.

So what are you waiting for? Of course you’ll need a magnetic whiteboard to stick it on.

If you are still using dusty old chalkboards talk to Versatile Teaching Products about resurfacing your old blackboards with sparkling magnetic whiteboard.  You can transform a classroom for less than $300. So why do things by halves? Complete all your classrooms for a cleaner, healthier, brighter school. And as a special offer to ASCIV members - pay just 50% upfront and the then pay off the balance over 12 months...interest free!

Do you have mobile white boards that’s seen better days or lost their magnetism?  Get them resurfaced as well; it’s a lot cheaper than you might have imagined.
