Reviving Dry Erase Markers

September 12, 2008

From Susan Lawson, a fifth grade teacher at Howard Wilson Elementary in Leavenworth, Kansas

Ever have one of your dry erase markers dry out? Just use a pair of pliers to remove the tip and turn it around. You are good for another round of teaching. I have used this technique for years. You can later turn the tip back around, and the old dried out tip will be good again.
