The dock · Board basics

Draw

A pen for your board — sketch, circle, underline, explain.

Sometimes the fastest way to explain is to draw it. Freehand sketching right on the board — diagrams, arrows, quick maths workings, or the world's least flattering cat.

How it works

Three steps, zero setup

No setup screen, no import wizard — Draw lives on the same board as everything else and it's running before the class has sat down.

1

Open the dock and tap Draw

A drawing canvas drops onto your board, sized however you like.

2

Pick up the pen and go

Sketch freehand — diagrams, annotations, arrows to the thing that matters.

Keep it or clear it

Drawings live on your board like any other widget — keep the diagram all week, or wipe it and start again.

Classroom ideas

Try it tomorrow

Three ways teachers actually run draw — steal one for tomorrow morning.

The worked example that stays

Work the problem in front of them, then leave it up all lesson. The board remembers so their books don't have to guess.

Label-the-diagram relay

Sketch the outline — cell, volcano, circuit — and students come up one at a time to add a label while the class directs.

Five-second Pictionary

A canvas plus your vocabulary list is a whole Friday afternoon. Winning team picks the next word.

My class actually cheers when the Boardee background loads. Transitions that used to eat five minutes now take five seconds.

Same dock, one tap away

Pairs well with

Every tool lives on the same board — these turn draw into a whole routine.

The diagram on one side, your annotations right beside it.

Webcam

Model on paper under the camera, sketch the key idea on the board.

Text

Sketch the diagram; type the labels that need to stay readable.

Handwriting Lines

Rulings next door for when the sketch needs to become letters.

…and the rest of the dock is one tap away:

FAQ

Good to know

Can students draw on it?

Anyone at the board can. It's a favourite for working out maths in front of the class or labelling diagrams together.

Does my drawing save?

Yes — it stays on the board with everything else, so Monday's diagram is still there for Tuesday's recap.

Can I have more than one drawing area?

Yes — drop in several canvases and give each table group their own patch of board.

Do I need an account to try it?

No — no login, no install. Drawings save with the board on this device; an account is only for keeping boards across devices.
