How to use objects on the digital whiteboard

On the digital whiteboard you can add objects such as shapes, images, or tools. Once placed, you can move, adjust, or lock them to fit your lesson. This makes it easy to create interactive activities that are clear and organized.

How it works:

  1. Cursor

    • Use the cursor to select one or more objects on the board.

    • With the cursor you can also interact with interactive objects and tools.

  2. Object alignment

    • Move objects around the board to align them neatly.

    • Red dotted lines appear to help you place objects in line with each other.

    • Tip: Press the / key to quickly see these red dotted guidelines.

  3. Object grouping

    • Select two or more objects by dragging a box around them or clicking them while holding Shift.

    • Click the menu (three dots) and choose Group.

    • Grouped objects can be moved and resized together as one.

  4. Object locking

    • To prevent students from accidentally moving objects, lock them in place.

    • Select the object, open the menu, and choose Lock.

    • A locked object cannot be moved until you unlock it again.

  5. Infinite Clone

    • Turn on Infinite clone to make endless copies of an object.

    • Once active, drag the object to create a copy each time.

    • This is especially useful for activities where students need multiple of the same item.

💡Tip: Combine these options to set up structured and engaging lessons. For example, lock the background elements so they stay in place, align and group objects for tidy layouts, and use infinite clone for hands-on practice where students need to drag in multiple objects.
