利沃尼亚幼儿教育中心

利沃尼亚幼儿教育中心：设计助力学习

利沃尼亚公立学区启动了一所全新的幼儿教育中心，作为其教育设施现代化计划的一部分。该中心占地 72,000 平方英尺，旨在通过感官游戏支持 700 多名儿童的发展。该设施结合了新建部分和一所前初中翻新后的区域。它拥有 29 间教室和超过 60,000 平方英尺的户外游戏空间。该中心经过精心设计，旨在鼓励幼儿进行探索和互动。

激发年轻思维的创意画布

为了支持学校的感官学习使命，TMP Architecture 指定在教室和公共区域使用 Polyvision 的数码打印 CeramicSteel（陶瓷钢）表面。基于之前成功的项目经验，设计团队选择了这种耐用材料，通过在大尺寸装置中融入查理·哈珀（Charley Harper）异想天开的“Beguiled by the Wild”图形，将互动式的创意表达变为现实。墙壁被设计成巨大的涂色书，邀请孩子们直接与艺术品互动，从而支持精细动作技能和创造力的发展。

除了设计和耐用性之外，该中心选择 CeramicSteel 还支持打造更健康、更可持续的学习环境。该表面无孔、易于消毒，并且天生具有抗微生物特性。CeramicSteel 无 VOC 排放，并获得了“从摇篮到摇篮”（Cradle-to-Cradle）铜级认证和室内空气质量金级（Indoor Advantage Gold）认证，助力实现长期成功。

Chalkboard vs. Whiteboard

Chalkboards vs. Whiteboards

When we were approached to discuss the differences of whiteboards vs. chalkboards, it seemed like a dubious task. You write on one with chalk and the other with dry erase markers, right? If that was the extent of the relationship between chalkboard and whiteboard writing surfaces, this would be an incredibly short blog post. As experts in the field, let us shed some light on the subject.

Similarities between
Whiteboards & Chalkboards ​

  • Whiteboards and chalkboards are both writing surfaces that share the same basic function – facilitating information-sharing

  • The most prominent feature of both surfaces is their simple reusability for this purpose. Both CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards can be used over and over for 50 years or longer when cared for properly, and unlike other writing surfaces, CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards don’t ghost or stain after use.

  • They can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, often custom designed to fit the modern space.

  • There is a basic selection of standard colors available for both chalkboard or whiteboard surfaces, and both can be produced in custom colors as well. These colors all allow for high-contrast markings, whether chalkboard or whiteboard, offering the greatest viewing quality possible.

  • Safe, clean and environmentally sustainable, both whiteboard and chalkboard CeramicSteel writing surfaces are Cradle-to-Cradle Bronze Certified and emit no VOCs.

  • In addition to responsible manufacturing, CeramicSteel whiteboard and chalkboard writing surfaces are resistant to stains, scratches, fire, bacteria and chemicals.

  • They’re both durable and long-lasting writing surfaces ideal for environments requiring high-performance material.

Differences between Chalkboards & Whiteboards

Whiteboards are also known as dry erase boards.
This describes the act of writing with dry erase markers and
easy removal of marker ink using a dry eraser or cloth.

  • CeramicSteel whiteboards will also tolerate permanent marker and other inks. To get rid of permanent marker, a trick is to write over the marking with a dry erase marker and erase – it’s as simple as that. Permanent marker and ink can also be easily removed using a solvent cleaner. Despite its ability to withstand a variety of writing tools, chalk is not compatible with whiteboard surfaces. The dry chalk doesn’t adhere to gloss surfaces like it does to a matte surface.

  • Chalkboards, on the other hand, are specifically designed for use with dry chalk sticks. Dry chalk can be easily erased from CeramicSteel chalkboards with a dry felt eraser. Chalk doesn’t stain or ghost, but it can leave behind a “chalky” appearance after heavy use between cleaning with a wet cloth.

Can You Use Dry Erase Markers On Chalkboards?

Because CeramicSteel chalkboards are smooth and nonporous, chalk pens or wet chalk can easily be used to write on the surface, too – it just requires a wet erase with soap and water. While dry erase markers, permanent markers and other inks won’t damage CeramicSteel chalkboards, they aren’t recommended; these tools don’t provide enough contrast against the chalkboard’s dark surface for clarity.

Other Uses For Chalkboards

  • As a dark, relatively matte surface, chalkboards absorb light. As a result of this nature, chalkboard surfaces aren’t ideal for projecting – a process wholly based on the projection of light. While it’s possible to project onto chalkboard surfaces, and it has been done, it’s not recommended when a quality image and clear communication is the bottom line. 

  • When projecting is a priority, whiteboard surfaces or dedicated projection surfaces are the best option. The light-colored surface reflects light, creating a clean, crisp image.  PolyVision CeramicSteel whiteboard surfaces have a variety of gloss levels for optimal visibility in any environment. Lower gloss levels produce less glare for more frequent users of projectors.

  • Finally, if attention to detail is what you’re after, chalkboards are the surface of choice. Biology professors across the globe sing the chalkboard’s praises for its forgiveness with shading, line thickness and scrawling minutia when creating intricate diagrams for their lectures. This allows for chalkboards to display more detail in their drawings, as compared to the more bold lines seen on dry erase boards or whiteboards. Whiteboard markers only offer one shade level regardless of pressure or ink layering and are typically bulky in nature, providing a less authentic writing experience for small hands learning penmanship.

Whiteboards or Chalkboards: Which Should I Choose?

When it comes down to brass tacks, CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards are both premium writing surfaces with an environmentally responsible manufacturing process and safe, healthy composition for any setting. Understanding the quality helps make the selection process easier. All that’s left is to decide which surface best meets the needs of your space – will you require a projector? A whiteboard is your best option. If you’re teaching penmanship, or a cool, retro look fits your space – a chalkboard is right up your alley.

Either CeramicSteel selection can always be made with confidence, just be sure to follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions and use the recommended accessories to maximize performance.
