Abstract
A dry erase panel assembly for use as a teaching aid includes a first panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, and a right edge. The first panel includes a writing section that is adapted to eraseably receive markings thereon. The panel assembly further includes a second panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, a right edge, and a holding section. The second panel is secured to the first panel along the left edge and the right edge, whereby the holding section is spaced from the writing section to define a gap therebetween adapted to receive an information template.

- a first panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, and a right edge, the first panel including a writing section that is adapted to eraseably receive markings thereon;
- a second panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, a right edge, and a holding section, the second panel secured to the first panel along the left edge and the right edge, the holding section being spaced from the writing section to define a gap therebetween adapted to receive an information template;
- and
- a pair of fastening sections extending along the right and left edges of the first panel, wherein the fastening sections of the first panel are integral with and in stepped relation to the writing section.
A clipboard panel assembly, comprising:
- a first panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, and a right edge, a writing section, the writing section adapted to dry eraseably receive markings thereon, and a pair of fastening sections integral with and disposed along the left and right edges;
- a second panel with a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, a right edge, a holding section, and a pair of fastening sections integral with and disposed along the left and right edges, wherein the left edge fastening section of the second panel abuts and is fastened to the left edge fastening section of the first panel, and the right edge fastening section of the second panel abuts and is fastened to the right edge fastening section of the first panel;
- a pair of grips, one each disposed around the joined left edge fastening sections and the joined right edge fastening sections;
- and
- wherein at least the writing section is transparent and in spaced relation to the holding section to define a gap therebetween.
