Online Whiteboard

Remember the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words?" All teachers know that sometimes you just have to be able to show students in addition to telling them. That's where a whiteboard comes in handy. In the classroom, the teacher can grab a marker and illustrate her point. But what options are there for the teacher in a virtual classroom?

Choosing on Online Whiteboard

Fortunately, various online whiteboards are available. But they are not all equally suited to classroom use. All allow the teacher to write or draw material that students can see. Only some allow students to participate in the class via the whiteboard.

See our article on the features you should look for in an online whiteboard. And keep in mind that IQity's whiteboard is bundled with an online web-casting tool that lets the teacher talk to the class in real time while using the whiteboard, closely simulating the functionality of a traditional bricks-and-mortar classroom.
