Fun web tool alert! Scriblink!!

This 'round' of specials, KCSMA 3rd and 4th graders have been experimenting with and exploring a web tool called Scriblink.  It is a web-based whiteboard that is fun enough to draw and write on alone- the cool thing is that you can collaborate with 1-5 friends (for a total of 6 allowed at a time on a board) to draw, write, etc. 
 
As this image shows, from Scriblink you would click on "Get URL" in order to send the web address to someone you wish to draw with.  This web address can be copied and then pasted into any chat program, email, etc.
 
Some students have found it exciting and fun... some have been a little frustrated... we have learned the skill of respecting other peoples' work as some students had their artwork colored on or cleared by a peer in the class.
 
The computer lab has gotten quite noisy at times when we were checking out Scriblink.  However, one student stopped me at carpool and said it best, "Today at technology, it felt more like we were in art."  That's the overlapping power of technology integration.
 
Have fun with Scriblink!  Come back for updates on our next fun web tool.
