iPad Interactive Whiteboard Apps

Many have been asking what is a good interactive whiteboard app for math. The truth is, it all depends on the iPad that you are using and if you are willing to pay a little extra for some additional features. In this newsletter, you will find six apps that I have found to work with the iPads that the district has provided you with. These apps will run on any iPad with iOS 9.0 or greater.

Liveboard is a free interactive whiteboard app that allows you to draw, visualize ideas, work together and chat with friends/colleagues in real-time! This collaboration app offers practical drawing tools, multiple interaction whiteboards, social media interconnection, live collaboration and chats amongst other features.

ShowMe allows you to record your ShowMe tutorial right away — no manuals or complicated menus needed. Drop in images onto the whiteboard and easily switch between drawing and erasing (as well as pausing and playing) to make your ShowMe flow from concept to concept. You can make your ShowMe as long or as short as it needs to be, and record as many ShowMe’s as you want. Once you’re finished recording, upload your ShowMe to share with the community (or keep it private if you prefer). Discover awesome tutorials created by other members of the ShowMe community

Educreations

Allows you to import images from Photos, Dropbox, Google Drive, or the Web for your lessons. Add typed text in a variety of colors and sizes or draw on top of everything with brilliant colors of beautifully rendered digital ink.

Save a draft of your work and finish it later on other devices or store your lessons securely in the cloud and control who can see them. Share your lessons with your classes, or via a link, email, Messages, Facebook, or Twitter and embed your lessons on your blog or website.

Doceri combines screencasting, desktop control, and an interactive whiteboard in one app, you’ll never have to turn your back to the class or audience again. Create a lesson or presentation, insert images, save and edit your project and record a screencast video you can easily save or share. Control your lesson or presentation live with Airplay or through your Mac or PC. Annotate a Keynote or PowerPoint, or present your original Doceri project. Great for student projects, too. Create hand-written or hand-drawn Doceri projects on your iPad, using sophisticated drawing tools and the innovative Doceri Timeline. Unlike other drawing and screencast apps, Doceri uses timeline-based editing so original lessons are always saved, even after a screencast recording is created. All drawing strokes, photos or hand-drawn objects can be cut, pasted or resized at any point in the timeline. This enables easy creation and reuse of engaging presentations and high-quality flipped classroom screencasts.

IPEVO Whiteboard IPEVO Whiteboard allows you to draw and annotate directly onto real-time camera image from your iPad, images in the Photo Library, or a blank whiteboard.
