I tried opening "my" whiteboard in a second tab in Firefox (on Windows). The second tab's view is distorted, it reminds me of having a badly programmed modulo register on the Amiga.

Which doesn't say much to most, I guess... It looks as if the scan lines are mis-aligned, i.e. as if some pixels in each line is missing from each, causing the resulting image to be slanted and distorted.

Hmmm - send me a screenshot. I'll take a look.

I love it - works perfectly... but immediately the feature creeper in me has kicked in. Killer features

1. Be able to type in text (any font will do)

2. Drag-and-drop an image to be be able to annotate it over the top (would be excellent design task, e.g. using screenshots of some work-in-progress).

3. Movable objects?

Great work! My feature request: similar to the "insert pic", create an insert slide. You upload a .PPT and select which slide you want to use.

If teachersare going to use this, many of them will already have a powerpoint to use.

Adding to this, an easy way to navegate betweens different whiteboards of the same author (so it is easy to go to the next slide).

Just my opinion about what might work.

Text is also a feature I'd like to see. Sometimes its easier to just type something than gesture each letter
