Scribblar

Scribblar allows users to create a room for learning and collaboration.  I thought that this tool would be very useful to math instructors. As an instructor you can draw and insert text as you see needed to fit a lesson. The live page is similar to a virtual whiteboard so students and teachers can alter, add, and delete content in real time. This feature encourages students to be actively engaged in the online lesson. Teachers can model math concepts and students can see it. Other interactive features allow students and the teacher to communicate in the chat box or orally though the audio feature. For added support to a lesson, Teachers and students can drag and drop files as well. This includes files such as pictures, PowerPoint presentations, and practice math problems. At the end of the lesson teachers can take a snapshot of the page to save what students learned. There a many possibilities with Scribblar and I think it is very useful for students and teachers.
