Ideal for sharing ideas and collaborating, Padlet is a popular tool with our teachers.

#JAMBOARD VS PADLET UPGRADE#
You can upgrade to their Pro plan for £119.90 a year for added functionality. This is perfect for tuition with one student. Zoom’s Basic plan is free and includes unlimited one-on-one meetings and Zoom Whiteboard. Students can also annotate and draw on the whiteboard, and you can add new whiteboards and save screenshots throughout the lesson. You can easily add text and highlight areas to emphasise important points. This is great to demonstrate something that your words or text alone can’t explain. Like Microsoft, Zoom has a built-in Whiteboard functionality. It is free for those who already have a Microsoft Office subscription (their personal plan costs £59.99 a year). It’s worth noting, however, that it is limited in that you can’t use it alongside other video call platforms such as Zoom or Google Hangouts. This is perfect for those who use Microsoft Teams – you just need to download the Microsoft Whiteboard extension – so sharing work and mindmaps becomes seamless.

This tool is easy to use alongside your lessons as a virtual version of the classic classroom whiteboard. Microsoft has a great tool called Microsoft Whiteboard. If you like it and want to create more projects, the individual teacher plan is only £24 for the year, with unlimited access to all features.
