Everything a teacher needs on a Linux whiteboard
Write like on a real board
Pens and a highlighter, an eraser, lasso select, text, shapes and fill. Write, draw and explain on a clean board.
Smart pen
Draw a rough line, circle or shape and the smart pen can tidy it, so your teaching board looks neat.
Many pages
Keep a full lesson on many pages and move between them quickly, like turning the pages of a notebook.
Import a PDF or photo
Open a PDF or add a photo to the board and write over it to explain a topic or solve a question.
Laser pointer and zoom
Point to the part you are teaching with the laser pointer and zoom in so everyone can see.
Save and share
Save your lesson as PDF or PNG and share it with students after the class.
