Splashtop Whiteboard

Splashtop Whiteboard is an interactive whiteboard application for iPad and Android tablets from Splashtop Inc. Whiteboard can be used to remotely control a desktop, to annotate PowerPoint and Keynote presentations or to access all the content on the linked computer’s desktop without having to sync files. Whiteboard allows the user to annotate lessons, project Flash video, HD movies, and images, while maintaining mobility and interaction throughout the classroom.

The app is aimed at educators and there are a wide variety of features that are particularly relevant to librarians who teach information literacy courses. Particularly useful features for librarians are the pre-made Venn diagram templates and the spotlight tool which highlight a specific portion of the projected screen. The most attractive feature of all is the ability to turn your iPad or Android tablet into a remote control in the classroom.
