Description:

Think Zoom is just for virtual meetings? Think again. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how Zoom Whiteboards can be used as a powerful collaborative tool in any learning environment, including fully in-person classes. Participants will discover how to create, customize, and share persistent Zoom Whiteboards for brainstorming, visual thinking, peer feedback, group planning, and more. We'll examine how whiteboards can be integrated directly into Canvas courses, making them accessible to students anytime without launching a Zoom meeting. Whether you’re facilitating classroom discussions, designing interactive assignments, or supporting student collaboration outside of class, Zoom Whiteboards offer flexible, cloud-based functionality that supports engagement, creativity, and collaboration across modalities.
