Whiteboard

The whiteboard is a great way to work on problems or share ideas with other students and the teacher.

Using the whiteboard is very much like using Microsoft Paint or other drawing software. To have a go on the whiteboard click on the link.

Requirements

To open the whiteboard file, the computer you are using will need to have NetMeeting installed.

NetMeeting is a software program that allows you to interact with the teacher and students during a lesson. NetMeeting allows you to do and see things at the same time as everyone else.

If you don't wish to spend the time downloading from here, it is available within the Microsoft CDs provided to schools as part of the Microsoft Agreement. Ask a study coach or teacher at your school which computer has NetMeeting installed.
