The best online whiteboard for teachers

Build Interactive Lessons with Slides

Jotboard’s slide-based interface is a natural fit for lesson planning. Each slide acts as a self-contained page, so you can structure a lesson the same way you would with a traditional whiteboard — one topic per slide, moving forward as the class progresses. Add text boxes for key definitions, drop in images for visual context, and use sticky notes to highlight questions or prompts for discussion. Because everything lives on discrete slides rather than an infinite canvas, students always know exactly where to look.

Keep Students Engaged in Real Time

Invite your entire class to a single board and let them participate directly. Students can add their own sticky notes to answer a question, sketch a diagram, or vote on ideas. The real-time collaboration means every contribution appears instantly, turning a passive lecture into an interactive session. For younger students, the simple pen and shape tools make it easy to draw without getting lost in menus. For older students, text boxes and images support more detailed work like annotating sources or building concept maps.

Manage Classes Without the Hassle

Jotboard works in any browser with no software to install, so there is nothing for IT to configure and nothing for students to download. Share a link and your class can join immediately. The free plan supports up to five collaborators per board, which is ideal for small-group activities. If you need the whole class on one board at the same time, the paid plan at four dollars a month removes the collaborator limit entirely. You can also export any board as a PDF to hand out after class or keep for your records.
