Skrbl

Filed Under Art, Collaboration 

The newest and coolest tool that I’ve found is Skrbl.com. It is a website that works as an online whiteboard. It’s a simple version of a program like Microsoft Paint where you can make easy illustrations that other people can edit. With the free version (and, of course, with the paid version, too) you can make your particular whiteboard or drawing private so only you can work on it. If your pictures are worth keeping you can publish them as a webpage which you can link to from any other site.

If you’d like to test out this funky little site, they let you embed a scribble pad right in any other webpage.

The documentation for the site is pretty weak since the site is only in beta and still being developed. Yet you appear to be able to create and unlimited number of whiteboards, each with its own unique web address/URL, so you could have a theoretically unlimited number of students working together (which is a really mind boggling idea).

I’m not sure yet what to do with the site, but I’m going to give it a good try to figure something out. This is a promising Internet tool that I’m going to like.
