Are you wondering about the uses for wall hanging organizers in the classroom? If your classroom is short on space, you would be glad to have wall hanging file organizers. Teachers use them to store not just files, but also cardstock, clipboards, student whiteboards, etc. These wall hanging organizers work well for students to turn in their homework or classwork for each subject.

They come in different materials: plastic, cloth, and fine wire mesh. The wire mesh organizers are the most durable, but the plastic and cloth options are available in many colors, patterns, and themes to match your decor.
