What's It About?

A simple demo board gets kids started drawing with SCRIBBLE TOGETHER WHITEBOARD. Use a blank canvas, or load a picture or PDF file as a backdrop. Simple drawing tools include a handful of colors, an eraser, and a disappearing pen. Tap the Share button to generate a special code or link that you can share with family and friends. When they join the board, all can draw together and see edits in real time. Kids can also export boards as a PDF or share a static link to their board.

This simple drawing platform finds its strength in its streamlined, easy approach to sharing boards across devices. The drawing tools are rudimentary, with only a small number of colors, two pen tip weights, and a few other little extras. This makes Scribble Together Whiteboard less of a drawing tool and more of a platform for sharing with faraway friends and family. Sometimes, when you're trying to explain something complicated, or work with someone on a new idea, it's easier to draw it out than explain it in words. And that's exactly what Scribble Together Whiteboard lets kids do, regardless of where the person they're talking with is physically. It's a really easy process to share boards with others, and it's fun to watch the board update in real time as your partner or partners draw on the whiteboard. With this method, kids can get homework help, collaborate on projects, or draw on documents or pictures with anyone, anywhere.
