Microsoft Whiteboard

What is it?

Microsoft Whiteboard is a digital whiteboard tool that allows you to collaborate visually with your students in real-time. Think of it as an infinite canvas where everyone can write, draw, add sticky notes, and even insert images.

How can I use it in the Classroom?

Brainstorming sessions: Imagine a virtual mind map where students can contribute ideas simultaneously. This is great for generating creative solutions or tackling open-ended problems.
Interactive lessons: Use the whiteboard to explain concepts visually. You can draw diagrams, highlight key points, and even use it to play educational games.
Collaborative projects: Students can work together on projects in real-time, adding their ideas and contributions to a shared whiteboard. Alternatively, students can use the link and add content independently at any time and then review with peers.
Reviewing homework: Students can use the whiteboard to show their work and explain their thinking. This is a great way to check for understanding and identify any misconceptions.
Digital whiteboard games: There are many educational games that can be adapted to the whiteboard format. This can be a fun way to reinforce concepts or review for tests.
