What do you think of CoSketch?
Cosketch is an amazing take on whiteboards. Not only is it free, that's a big plus, but the interface is simple and useful. There is, however, an element of cosketch which is quite profound. The developer has attached the scale of your whiteboard is linked to how far you have zoomed in on google maps. For instance, if you zoom in to a remote location in Arizona and make your collaborative white board there, then it's forever locked in to that scale and when you zoom out it essentially disappears. Until, of course, you give someone the GPS coordinates of your whiteboard and then they can zoom in and find the collaboration you've created. Essentially, you can give your various student groups their own collaborative whiteboard geography. Take a look and comment back.
