5.6. Whiteboard

computer screen with a whiteboardThe whiteboard tool is like the typical classroom whiteboard. You can use it to write or draw on as you speak or you can let your students contribute by adding text and drawings.  

Using the whiteboard can break up the monotony of a presentation by giving participants a fun way to engage with your content. For example, you can ask a question and have students circle the correct answer from the options you display on the screen. You can also use the whiteboard early in your webinar for icebreaker activities. For example, you could pre-load a map image and have students mark their location on it.
