Marker color and transparency can be changed. Pictures may be saved and also submitted to an online gallery.
Recommendation: This app could be used both in the classroom or for students' personal use. Students could learn collaboration and cooperation by working together to complete a drawing. They could brainstorm ideas, annotate a map, play Tic Tac Toe or Hangman, practice math facts or spelling words, or make a list. It could also be used by students or teachers to annotate screenshots or photos.
