Creating a Whiteboard document

Foldr’s Whiteboard feature allows you to sketch and write to create a multi-page document.  Create an interactive whiteboard to prepare lesson plans, take class notes and create mind maps.

Project onto the big screen using Apple TV for a truly modern whiteboard experience. Embed photo and audio resources and then share with them as pdf.
