How to Maximize Your Digital Blackboard Experience
The classic blackboard aesthetic is preferred by many educators for its reduced glare and nostalgic feel. Using LearningBoard's digital blackboard effectively can transform a standard Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call into a highly engaging learning environment.
1. Set Up for Screencasting
Before your students connect, press the F key to toggle fullscreen mode. This hides your browser tabs and UI, ensuring students are immersed entirely in your lecture content without distractions. When you share your screen in your video conferencing app, share only the specific browser window running LearningBoard.
2. Utilize the Infinite Canvas efficiently
Instead of clearing the board when you run out of space, use the Spacebar + Click/Drag to pan the canvas (or use the slide navigator if enabled). This allows you to construct massive, interconnected lesson plans—like complex chemical equations mapping or extensive geometry proofs—and then visually zoom back out to piece them all together.
3. Exporting Session Notes
When the lesson concludes, everything drawn on the blackboard acts as a perfect study guide. Click the "Export" button in the palette to download a pristine, high-resolution PDF or Image zip file of the entire chalkboard session. Distribute these digital assets directly to your students so they can focus on understanding concepts rather than frantically transcribing notes.
