Sandbox

Whiteboarding, lessons, and activities

A sandbox is a collaborative digital canvas with tools for drawing, writing, and adding media.

Oh, and it’s beautiful. Because, as the great Fyodor Dostoyevsky said, "without beauty, there would be nothing at all to do in the world!"

How it works

A single sandbox card being drawn and typed on

Level 1: Super simple

When you start a sandbox, you see a blank white rectangle. You can draw and type on it. You can add images and videos to it. You can invite others to do the same and see their contributions in real-time. So, at the minimum, you can use it for doodling and whiteboarding.

Level 2: Simple

You can add multiple of these rectangles (called cards), add content to each of them, and play the whole stack of cards in order as a slideshow. So you can use it to create lessons, presentations, and storybooks.

Level 3: Still Simple

You can add actions to your content, like clicking on one image to navigate to a different card. This allows you to add branching and logic to your stack of cards. So at this elite level, you can design interactive documents, activities, and games.
