It seems like every year I discover some kind of amazing new teaching tool. Last year it was the Eggspert. The year before that it was the erasable highlighters that really work!

As you know, I am an office-supply junkie and love to browse to see what’s new. Since Frixion made such a wonderful teaching tool in their erasable highlighters, I was viewing their new products and discovered that they now make erasable gel pens!

If you are at least my age, you will automatically be skeptical as I was because you will remember that there used to be erasable Bic pens that didn’t work very well. But after trying the ones that my son gave me for Christmas, I am in office supply junkie heaven…these really erase!

I highly recommend these to add some color to your students score and assignment pages. My students have been begging me for another opportunity to earn an erasable highlighter. Now I have another incentive to offer them for “practicing smartly.” I love incentivizing them with tools they can use in their own practice session. See this post for more ways students use these highlighters.

Have any of you used these yet?
