Telescopic Teachers Pointer Stick, 47.24in Retractable Teaching Pointer, Telescoping Pointing Extendable Handheld Guiding Wand for School Office Classroom Presentation Teaching Whiteboard

as a teacher, I was looking for a pointer that was longer than the average big finger pointer stick. Not only does this collapse for easy storage, it extends very long and works on smart boards

works as intended.

I actually ordered this for an oddly-specific purpose: to adjust (by poking) the swiveling wide-angle tiny rearview blindspot mirror that's attached to the passenger side mirror of my car, while sitting in the driver's seat. The pointer is sturdier and heavier than I expected, which is nice. It has a nice red plastic tip and is easy to extend and collapse, and it collapses nice and small. It would definitely work well in its normal role as a pointing stick for teaching or demonstrating.

As a teacher with some images in my classroom near my tall ceiling, I have been looking for an extra long pointer that wasn't just silver - this is it! Up until now, I've been pointing out the images with a yard stick, but it (and I) is just a bit too short to get to all the parts I want to highlight for my students. I have looked for longer pointers (I don't want a laser one) but all the ones I could find were simply silver, making the pointer tip harder to see from a distance. This one is extra long AND has a bright red tip! Love it!
