An Educastic online whiteboard session with drawing tools, video and chat

Everything a live class needs, on one board

Run the whole lesson from the whiteboard instead of juggling a video app, a drawing app and a file folder.

Educastic whiteboard with drawing tools and a grid background

A whiteboard made for teaching

Pens, highlighter, laser pointer, shapes, text, sticky notes, eraser and zoom, on dotted, lined or plain grids. Open as many whiteboard tabs as the class needs.

Uploading a document to the Educastic whiteboard to annotate it

Annotate PDFs, documents and images

Load a worksheet or slide deck onto the board and mark it up live. Import files from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or a YouTube link.

Webcam video of the teacher and students beside the whiteboard

Video and audio built in

See and hear your students right next to the board, in the browser, with no plugins and no separate meeting link.

Sharing a screen during an Educastic class

Screen sharing

Share your whole screen, one application window, or a single Chrome or Edge tab whenever you need to show something outside the board.

The record button in the Educastic whiteboard toolbar

Record every session

Start a recording from the top toolbar so students can review the lesson later, at their own pace.
