is there a different word than "Pizarra" for "white board?"
Pizarra always meant blackboard in Spanish. Is there a different word for "whiteboard"?

I've seen "pizzarón blanco" on whiteboard cleaner fluid.
Pizarra= whiteboard, Pizarrita= little white board
You can also use variations such as "pizarra blanca"; however, they essentially mean the same thing.
In my Spanish class we have small portable whiteboards that we call "las tablas"
My dictionary says "pizarra vileda" (trademarked) and "pizarra blanca" (not trademarked).
Google has:
pizarra vileda 3000 hits
pizarra blanca 40,000 hits
pizarrón blanco 240,000 hits
So do you go with the authority, or with the popular vote??
I think pizarra can mean black or whiteboard.
