A few years ago, apps like ShowMe and Educreations helped popularize the creation of whiteboard-style instructional videos. Today, Flipgrid’s Whiteboard tool, along with screencasting tools such as Screencastify and Google’s Chrome Screencast tool, makes it easy to create a whiteboard style video in your web browser. Regardless of the tool used, the main premise is to draw on a blank screen while talking at the same time.
