Supporting Vertical Learning, Anywhere

Suction mounted magnetic whiteboards

Designed to attach without drilling, they can be placed anywhere on glass windows, walls, doors, or even garage surfaces  making them ideal for rental properties or temporary spaces. Their portability allows teachers and students to adapt the classroom setup for collaborative, mixed-age learning, supporting personalized learning paths and peer mentoring without the limitations of permanent installations. By combining ease of use with mobility, suction whiteboards enable a dynamic, interactive learning space that grows and changes with the needs of the students.

Imagine a classroom where students aren’t just sitting at their desks they’re standing, moving, and actively engaging with the lesson. Research shows that students who stand while learning, especially in subjects like Maths, actually concentrate better and retain more information. This approach, known as the Vertical Classroom, was championed by Peter Liljedahl, an education expert and author who has written extensively on innovative learning strategies. By putting work on classroom walls or windows, students can collaborate, think critically, and learn more effectively. It’s a proven method that’s gaining traction worldwide, and schools everywhere are starting to adopt it. Standing up to learn isn’t just a trend, it’s the future of education.

A vertical classroom, central to Peter Liljedahl’s “Building Thinking Classrooms” approach, utilizes vertical, non-permanent surfaces (whiteboards, windows) for student work to increase engagement, collaboration, and risk-taking. Students stand to work, often in visibly random & small groups, which improves focus, makes thinking visible, and encourages peer-to-peer learning
