Core Whiteboard Tools

Use DrawSplat^TM as a flexible classroom board for sketching, modeling, annotating, arranging ideas, and building multi-panel activities.

When to use these tools

• Whole-class modeling while students watch or contribute.
• Small-group brainstorming and sorting activities.
• Quick visual explanations with drawings, arrows, text, and sticky notes.
• Multi-step lessons using panels as frames, stations, or pages.

Main controls

• Select: move, resize, rotate, group, duplicate, and arrange objects.
• Pen, line, and arrow: sketch, underline, connect, point, and annotate.
• Shapes: add rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, triangles, callouts, and speech bubbles.
• Text: place text boxes or double-click text-capable shapes to write directly inside them.
• Sticky notes: capture student ideas, exit-ticket responses, questions, or quick labels.
• Panels: create separate frames for lesson steps, groups, stations, or versions.

Fast classroom workflow

1. Open the whiteboard and keep the interface in Simple mode for a clean tool set.
2. Add a prompt with the Text tool or a sticky note.
3. Use shapes to create response zones, sorting boxes, or labels.
4. Use arrows and lines to show relationships or model thinking.
5. Duplicate objects when you need repeated labels, answer boxes, or station cards.
6. Add a new panel for the next step instead of erasing the current work.

Tips

• Use Shift + click or drag on blank canvas to select multiple objects.
• Group related objects before moving a template or activity prompt.
• Use direct shape text editing when a label belongs inside a shape.
• Keep Simple mode on for students; switch to Advanced when you need connectors, comments, audio notes, templates, or cloud workflows.
