The best online whiteboard for the education industry

Bring Lessons to Life in the Classroom and Beyond

Traditional whiteboards are limited to a single room, and most digital alternatives are cluttered with features that get in the way. Jotboard gives educators a clean, slide-based whiteboard that works the way a classroom does. Each slide becomes a self-contained lesson segment, activity or discussion prompt, making it easy to move through material at the right pace. Teachers can sketch diagrams with the pen tool, drop in images and charts, add sticky notes for key vocabulary, and use shapes to build visual explanations that stick with students. Because everything is saved automatically, lesson boards can be reused, refined and shared across semesters without starting from scratch.

Real-Time Collaboration for Students and Teachers

Group work is where Jotboard really shines in education. Up to five collaborators can join a board for free, which is perfect for small-group exercises, study sessions and tutorial classes. Students see each other’s edits in real-time, so peer feedback and brainstorming happen naturally. For remote or hybrid learning, Jotboard provides a shared visual space that keeps every participant engaged rather than passively watching a screen share. Teachers can create a board for each group, monitor progress across slides, and export the final result as a PDF to use as a study resource. Google sign-in makes onboarding painless for schools already using Google Workspace, with no extra accounts or passwords for students to manage.

Managing Multiple Classes and Courses

Educators juggle many classes at once, and Jotboard’s unlimited boards on the free plan mean there is no need to delete old work to make room for new material. Create a separate board for every class, unit or project, and organise them however you like. When the term ends, export boards to PDF for archival or share them directly with students for revision. For departments or institutions that need larger collaborative groups, the paid plan at four dollars a month removes the five-collaborator limit, making it straightforward to run whole-class activities on a single board.
