A few weeks ago, well actually back in late August, I was contacted by a Bic representative to review their new product the Brite Liner Highlighter Tape. I was happy to agree to try it out with my students. I am always on the look out for new and different school supplies.
It works similar to the white out tape (which I love, love, love). So, I figured it would be easy to use. I will admit it was a little trickier than I thought it would be, but I got the hang of it after my teenager helped me out. The great thing about it is the little white dial on the side. If too much tape comes out (by pressing too hard), you can wind the extra tape back up inside the container. Thank goodness....because at first I thought I had broken it.
Getting my students to use it correctly took some guidance from me and from some students who were patient and knew what to do...but they worked like a charm.
We were working on our reflection on addition and subtraction a few weeks ago and we used the highlighter tape on our graphic organizers.
It even worked on the thinner paper from our textbooks as you can see in the picture above.
Have you tried these highlighters yet? Definitely worth a try!
Elizabeth, I just found your post & have been reading away!! Love, love, love your ideas! What is the difference between this tape & a highlighter? Pros? Cons?
