Twiddla

Twiddla is a neat web application which has brought the term "team whiteboarding" into our classroom.  Basically the premise of twiddla is to allow multiple users to meet in a web-based playground where they can view/edit/discuss a wide range of items including original thoughts, websites, uploaded files, images and more.  One of the best parts about Twiddla is that each person can use this site as a guest so that students without an e-mail address will be able to use this service as well.

Now What?


Twiddla is similar to other web based meeting sites but it does not require any downloads or plug-ins, firewall access or javascript.  Students can use this site to work collaboratively on a project from their respective houses.  As a PD facilitator, I can see this being used to offer web based professional development for several schools at once.
