The following quote is from Teaching Generation Now techtoolsforteachers@gmail.com -- Sign up for their newsletter (and view archives) for more tips on how to use Scrublr (and many other tech tools)
"Scrumblr is a free online tool that allows you to create a virtual whiteboard. This whiteboard can be accessed from multiple computers and used as a collaborative space for education.
We like scrumblr because:
● it is free and extremely easy to use.
● no sign up is needed to create and collaborate on a scrumblr board
● only people with the URL link that you create can access the scrumblr.
● it has no ads.
● it provides the opportunity for students to be active in their learning, reflect, clarify, stay focussed and learn from one another.
● it lets participants be anonymous.
● it allows for students from all over the world to work together.
● it allows you to customise the name and setup of the scrumblr
● it has many uses across all age groups and subject areas.
● it allows for students who don't normally speak up in class to be involved in conversations about their learning"
