Don't Try This @ Home (Updated)

It was brought to my attention that dry erase markers (especially the high-odor ones) could possibly damage the computer or TV screens. Well, we don't want that! Though the equipment I'm working with isn't exactly the newest on the market, the cost of replacing it is a price I can't afford to pay! So, here's my solution...I happened to have some clear vinyl that I purchased from a craft store (You can buy it by the yard). I just cut a piece to fit the screen and it seems to work very well like a vinyl cling. Then, the students use the dry erase markers on the vinyl instead of the screen. It has to be replaced after a while, but I'm sure the cost of the vinyl is a lot less expensive than the computer. That's the best solution I can come up with for now, I'll update this post if I come up with something better.
