Google Jamboard
Jamboard is a cloud-based app that enables visual collaboration between users in real-time. It can be used as a virtual whiteboard for remote teaching in both a live (synchronous) and pre-recorded (asynchronous) format. Different Jamboards can be shared with multiple students so that they can view/edit the Jamboard promoting collaboration and more interactivity.
It synchronises easily with Google Classroom where you can share a specific whiteboard with an entire class group so that they have access to work that was created or a copy of a virtual whiteboard can be made for each student where they could work on the whiteboard themselves in a task.
