3.24: More Whiteboard Resources: Ziteboard vs Chrome Canvas vs. Classroomscreen

There are a lot of whiteboard resources out there for teachers working with students in-person and through distance learning. The three choices presented in this week's video have some features in common with previous whiteboards I’ve presented in other newsletters but also are very different and unique features not offered in other whiteboards.  

Ziteboard is similar to apps like Miro and Explain Everything. It is a simple whiteboard with an unlimited canvas.  

Canvas.apps.chrome is a little know resource in Google. The app is different from Google Drawing and while it may seem like a simple tool I can see a lot of uses for the canvas. It works best in the Chrome browser and on a Chromebook.   

Classroomscreen has a whiteboard widget built into the web-based tool but it is really more of a classroom management tool than it is a classroom whiteboard.
