Have you ever heard of Excalidraw?
We hadn’t and we thought it could prove to be useful for teachers planning with their students or colleagues.
We love intuitive software here at The Holler and Excalidraw is great because it simply works and performs exactly how you think it would.
This very simple planning chart was compiled in moments and is exportable to image formats such as PNG’s.
Below I will attempt to highlight my favorite features.
- Completely Free
- Can pay for Excalidraw plus which will keeps your boards on thier cloud?
- Don’t want to pay but need to save your work? Simply save your board to your PC or Google Drive, then reopen it later to continue where you left off. You can even invite students or colleagues to collaborate!
- Collaboration Features
- Teachers and students can work together in real-time, making it a great tool for brainstorming, mind mapping, and visual note-taking.
- Mobile devices can plan and construct alongside PC/MAC users.
- Robust Features
- When exporting boards you can toggle “Dark Mode”
- You can insert images and PNG’s keep their transparency!!
- The export tool auto selects your canvas!
I’m barely scratching the surface of this completely free tool.
Give Excalidraw a try in your next planning session or let your students use it for brainstorming.
No signup needed, and no, they didn’t pay us to say this—we just think it’s a great tool!
