Whiteboard Tools

These whiteboards can be used and shared during live Zoom sessions or to create videos. For lengthy how-to videos, it is wise to create videos ahead of time using Screencastify or Loom (screen recorders), the Schoology Audio/Video Recorder, your Chromebook camera, or even your cell phone. These videos can be added to Schoology for students view on demand. Then the teacher can use Zoom plus one of the whiteboard tools to clarify, correct misconceptions, and answer students' questions.
