3.23 Whiteboard Resources: Whiteboard.chat vs Miro vs. Whiteboard.fi

The ed Newsstand

There are a lot of whiteboard resources out there for teachers working with students in-person and through distance learning. The three choices presented in this week's newsletter have some features in common but also are very different from one another.

Whiteboard.chat is a great resource that allows students to each have their own whiteboard, gives teachers the opportunity to join the student's board, and allows teachers to present their board to all students.

Miro works better for students in upper grades or for people working in the business industry because the collaboration is built on one platform shared amongst many users and requires a login to participate. It has great features like built-in chat, elaborate templates, and the ability to leave comments throughout the whiteboard.

Whiteboard.fi is similar to Whiteboard.chat but feels a little behind some of the tools available. Whiteboard.fi is under the Kahoot umbrella and has a free and paid option so I believe there is a lot of room for the platform to grow in the future.

Any of these resources would be a great addition to your classroom but have different benefits and drawbacks, which is why it’s important for you to vet them yourselves to choose the best fit for you and your students.
