The best online whiteboard for K-12

Tools That Work for Every Grade Level

Jotboard’s toolset scales naturally across age groups. Elementary students can use the pen and shape tools to draw pictures, practice handwriting, or sort items with sticky notes. Middle school students can build diagrams, create timelines on individual slides, and collaborate on group research by adding images and text boxes. High school students can use boards for structured activities like debate preparation, peer review, or annotating imported PDFs. The interface stays the same at every level — simple enough for a five-year-old, capable enough for a seventeen-year-old.

Slide-Based Boards for Structured Lessons

Unlike infinite-canvas whiteboards where content can sprawl in every direction, Jotboard uses a slide-based layout. Each slide is a clean, bounded space, which helps teachers keep lessons organized and helps students stay focused on the current activity. Teachers can prepare a set of slides in advance — one for a warm-up prompt, one for a group activity, one for a recap — and move through them during class. Students always know which slide to be on, reducing confusion and off-task behavior.

Simple Deployment Across a School

Jotboard runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to install on school-managed devices. Teachers can sign in with Google and share board links directly with students. Collaborators do not need their own accounts to participate, which removes a common barrier in school settings where student email access may be limited. The free plan supports unlimited boards with up to five collaborators, making it suitable for small-group work. Schools that need whole-class collaboration can upgrade to the paid plan at four dollars a month per teacher to remove the collaborator limit.
