You all can usually tell when I'm sifting through my blogs and listservs as I tend to post a lot more here.
This is one of the coolest tools that I've run across all year (and I don't just mean the last 2 months).
skrbl (or Scribble) is an online whiteboard application. I've used these in the past and they have always disappointed me. They were either slow to update, required the installation of software, or were simply poorly designed. skrbl is none of these. It is an easy design, easy to use (don't even need to register, but I'd recommend doing so if you like it), easy to invite others to use, and most importantly, NO SOFTWARE to install.
I used it briefly with my wife. There was a small delay (about a second or so), but we were also a very long distance from one another. Though we are next to each other in the office, I'm am technically on a server in Indianapolis, so my signal has to go to Indy and back.
I was really amazed and I would be happy to try this out with anyone if you'd like.

I'm picturing my students playing pictionary with other students (on the other side of the class or on the other side of the world) to practice new vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun. You could use it either with text chat or voice chat (Skype).
