Digital Whiteboards are a Fantastic Tool for Distance Learning!

For teachers, digital whiteboards can be a great way to flip a classroom. English teachers can diagram sentences, history teachers can show events on a timeline, math teachers can demonstrate how to work out a problem, and science teachers can explain a concept. App smash a with a screen casting tool such as Screencastify and you can record your digital whiteboard. 

Recording your lesson on a whiteboard is important in the distance learning environment. It allows students to view your lesson at time that’s convenient for the student. And, if they don’t quite get a concept, they can watch your lesson over and over again. I’ve mentioned three whiteboard apps to the left.

Explain Everything

Explain Everything allows you to create a direct web video link to your video. EE has a recording option in the app, so you don’t another screen recorder. Allowed 3 projects, but you can download your projects to make room. Explaineverything.com

Google Canvas

Google Canvas is web based so you can access it on the web at Canvas.apps.chrome. Use Screencastify to record your lesson and upload it to your classroom. 

Educreations

Like Google’s Canvas, you don’t need a third party recording app.  Educreations has a recording function. Easily share to you Google Classroom. Educreations.com

Microsoft Whiteboard

And let's not forget Microsodft.  Whiteboard.microsoft.com
