Replaces Google Jamboard
Google shut down Jamboard in December 2024. This is the simplest free replacement — same sticky notes, drawing, and image tools. See comparison →
Simple for All Ages
Clean, uncluttered interface works for elementary through university. No overwhelming features — just a canvas and tools.
Educational Use Cases by Grade Level
Elementary School (K-5)
Simple drawing for creative assignments. Teachers draw visual explanations. Students draw pictures, label diagrams, and work through visual math problems.

Science diagrams, history timelines, mind maps for book reports, math problem solving, and group brainstorming with sticky notes.
High School (9-12)
Flowcharts, essay planning, biology and chemistry diagrams, geometry, physics concepts, debate mapping, and project planning boards.
Higher Education
Lecture annotation, research concept mapping, lab diagrams, architectural sketches, case study visuals, and remote tutorial sessions.
Special Education
Visual learning tools for students who benefit from seeing concepts drawn out. Simple interface reduces cognitive load. Works with touch screens.
Online & Hybrid Learning
Teachers share their screen on Zoom or Google Meet. Students see the whiteboard being drawn in real-time — participatory and engaging.
Privacy & Safety for Schools
OnlineWhiteboard.org was built with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. When students and teachers use the whiteboard, absolutely no personal data is collected — no names, no emails, no school information, no IP logs tied to user identity.
All drawing and board data is processed entirely in the browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted to external servers. When a student closes their browser, their whiteboard session is gone — nothing persists on our servers. Schools do not need to sign a data processing agreement because there is no data to process.
This makes OnlineWhiteboard.org exceptionally safe for K-12 environments where student privacy laws (like COPPA, FERPA, GDPR) apply. No accounts means no privacy exposure. No data collection means no breach risk.
