Free web whiteboard for interactive teaching

Ed-tech is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Teachers and students are adapting to new norms of teaching online.
The concern of teachers is: How can we provide a learning environment for students? The amalgamation of technology & education started with a “digital whiteboard”. Where schools buy touch-supported digital whiteboards. In 2021, it got upgraded with a “web whiteboard” with a teaching environment. Where you don’t need to spend money on buying any devices.

How Online Whiteboard Works

An interactive whiteboard in www.standupmeet.com
Tools: (Text, Circle, Square, Arrow, Line)
Teachers like me have terrible handwriting & drawing skills on whiteboards. We don’t need to worry about bad drawing with a web whiteboard. Cause, text, circle, square, line most common shapes are directly available.
Pencil:
Pencil tools let you draw at your will. It becomes handy when you’re drawing shapes of different sizes. This comes in handy in writing complex math formulas too.
Board Download:
Students and teachers don’t need to worry about taking and saving notes. With one click only, they both can download the board and save it in a local file.
Upload Files:
You can reupload boards from the previous class. For revision. You don’t need to draw complex figures every time. You can directly upload ppt, image, videos on the web whiteboard.
Color Palette:
Simple drag and drop color picker for each object you want to draw or write. Many whiteboards provide hex code for custom color selection tools.
Mouse Selector & Hand Selector & Eraser:
Mouse selector Helps you drag and move specific objects on board. While hand selector lets you move the whole board. You can delete any object with the help of an eraser.
Laser Pointer:
You’ve uploaded a previous board, video, or image on the whiteboard. The selector will help you draw the focus of your students to a specific part of the board.
What’s an Interactive whiteboard
On a normal whiteboard, only the teacher/host can make changes. Other members like students or colleagues are mere viewers.
In the interactive whiteboard, the host/teacher can share edit access with students. It opens new avenues of interactive education. It is a paid feature in most other techs. You can sign up and use it for free with standupmeet.com

Advance Features

  1. Interactive questions Online games and social media are highly destructive for attention. We’ve noticed that teachers are currently using additional teachers for monitoring the classroom, calling parents for non-attention. Which is very frustrating. Simply prepare questionnaires according to the topic you’re preparing. Call out students, one by one to solve this concern live on a whiteboard for physics & maths-related technical solutions. You can know in which steps students are struggling and tailor your next class accordingly. What about language and non-technical subjects? We’ve introduced a quiz feature. Simply copy-paste questions and ask directly to students as a quiz. From the right answers, you can know who is attentive in the classroom.
  2. Self Learning Groups Cohort-based education is growing rapidly in online education. From kids to professional learning is slowly shifting towards peer learning. With Standupmeet execution of cohort-based education is super simple. You can divide your classroom into small groups. Create new pages of the new whiteboard and assign to groups.
