Simple Collaborative Whiteboard

Simple Collaborative Whiteboard
Today's post is more of a "HeadsUp", introducing Crayon - https://www.cr4yon.com/ - a new service in the collaborative whiteboard market.

Crayon is still in an "alpha" phase so there should be more features coming in the future.

Educators can use Crayon without creating an account. 

How does it work?

Well, to make a collaborative whiteboard...

• go to the Crayon site,
• enter your name, and
• enter a name for your whiteboard space.

A whiteboard will open

• copy its URL and
• send it to the people you want to collaborate with you.

NOTE:

1. Crayon currently doesn't offer anything other than a whiteboard on which users can draw/write. 
2. There isn't any kind of chat option so there is the potential for you to write over your collaborators if you're not already talking via Skype, phone, or Google Hangouts at the same time.

I like its simplicity and its potential. 

 

If you give Crayon a try or have already used Crayon, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments. 

Thank you.
