🗒️

Sticky Notes for Brainstorming

Use colorful sticky notes for group brainstorms, KWL charts, exit tickets, and ideas mapping — exactly like Jamboard's frames.

📄

Export & Share Instantly

Export your lesson board as a PDF or PNG. Post to Google Classroom, send via email, or share the image directly with students.

📋

Multiple Boards per Session

Create separate boards for each subject, lesson, or activity within one session — organized and ready to switch between instantly.

💾

Save & Resume Lessons

Save your board as a project file. Reopen it next class and continue from where you left off — no cloud account needed.

🔍

Zoom & Fullscreen

Zoom in for detailed work, go fullscreen for distraction-free teaching. Perfect for projector and smartboard use in the classroom.

📐

Grids & Rulers

🔒

Private — No Student Data Shared

Everything stays in the browser. No student data, no teacher data, no account — no FERPA or COPPA concerns with personal information.

Teacher FAQ – Online Whiteboard

What is the best free online whiteboard for teachers?

OnlineWhiteboard.org is a top choice — completely free, no login or install needed, works on all browsers and devices including Chromebook and iPad. It includes drawing tools, sticky notes, image annotation, and PDF export.

Can students use it without a Google account or email?

Yes. Students need no account, no email, and no login. Just a browser. Ideal for younger students and BYOD classrooms.

How do I share my whiteboard with students?

Share your screen during a video call, export the board as a PDF and post to Google Classroom, or export as PNG and send directly. Multiple sharing methods built in.

Is this a good replacement for Jamboard?

Does it work on a smartboard or projector?

Yes. Open it in fullscreen mode on your smartboard or projector-connected computer. The canvas scales to fill the screen perfectly.
