How to Turn Your iPad into a Virtual Whiteboard

Lensoo Create has a simple function with many uses. It allows you to create videos using images, writing, and voice recordings.

Here are a couple of tips you can keep in mind when you're using your virtual whiteboard to create video tutorials:

  1. Keep your videos brief. Students, just like adults, have limited attention spans. Keep your tutorials to a minute or two, or as brief as possible. You can always break up your teachings or presentations into more videos if needed.
  2. Invest in a stylus. If you find that you're creating videos regularly and writing with your finger, you may want to purchase a stylus. You can buy one for just few dollars and it will greatly improve your handwriting on your videos.
  3. Record in a quiet place. Remember to turn off your cellphone, close your door, and shut down your computer speakers.  You'll want to eliminate as many distractions as possible before you go into recording mode.
  4. Have fun! Let your enthusiasm out while you record your tutorials. Even though your students may not see your face, your attitude will flow through into the finished product. It's your choice if it comes through as positive or negative.
