Webpage white board tool
If you haven’t seen this yet, check it out.
Firedoodle (which I found via eHub) is a Firefox add-on that lets you add white board functionality to any webpage, image, or map. You can mark it up all you want with highlighting, writing, and placemarking. You can also save your work if you create an account. This could be used during website redesign processes–send out a page in progress and ask staff to mark it up. Or it could be used to train on various sites, explain troubleshooting issues you’re having, the uses go on and on. I think of it as a way to do what most of us do in Paint or Photoshop with the screenshots we make–except you can do it right on the webpage in the browser instead of having to do a Print screen, open the image program, etc.

For a school librarian with no electronic whiteboard, this is great news! I can’t wait to use it – I’m always projecting the web with the kids, teaching online research tools. This is super, thanks for the heads up.

This is very cool. Thanks for sharing it. It might just be better than Diigo–we’ll see.

Cool. I love marking things up with bright colors, and I think the idea working with redesign committees is just great.

That may in fact be all that you need.
We got this one running without too much hassle once we located a local
manufacturer.. er.. reseller.. or something.
