The problem
Worksheets slide away mid-task
On a shared board, anything can be moved by accident. Students drag the worksheet instead of writing on it, and the teacher keeps putting it back.
La méthode habituelle
Teachers lock the whole board, which stops students writing too, or keep repositioning the material by hand.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Lock individual items on the board, separately from locking the whole board, so they can’t be moved or erased while everyone works around them.
Quels sont les changements ?
Students write on the material instead of chasing it.
What it looks like
Dans la pratique
A teacher locks a graph so it can’t be moved or erased. Students draw their lines on top of it while the rest of the board stays open.
In a 1:1 lesson
You lock the reading passage in place. Your student underlines and annotates it without dragging it off screen.
In a group class
You lock the blank map, and 20 students label countries on top. Nobody moves the map.
In a virtual training
You lock the project template, and participants add their tasks on top. The template stays exactly where it should be.
In your classroom
You lock a number line on the board. Students place their answers on it from their Chromebooks without moving the line.
In the training room
You lock the strategy canvas on the big screen. Each table fills in its section without shifting the canvas.
At home
You lock your daughter’s handwriting sheet. She traces the letters without the page sliding around.
