With Splashtop Whiteboard teachers and students can connect to a computer over Wi- Fi from an Android device or iPad, to enjoy Flash media with fully synchronized video and audio, control their favorite educational applications and annotate lesson content with a full-featured toolbar. Teachers can interact with students at their desks or from all four corners of the classroom.

“We listened to our clients and we delivered. Since the launch of Whiteboard, teachers have been clamoring for Whiteboard for Android,” said Mark Lee, CEO of Splashtop. “Now teachers and students can enjoy the best interactive whiteboard app solution streamed to their favorite Android tablet at a fraction of the cost of traditional interactive whiteboard products.”

“Too often, schools dismiss how vital it is for teachers and students to be able to write and annotate beyond the capabilities of a keyboard. Lenovo is committed to the use of a digital pen in the classroom to support learning outcomes,” said Sam Morris, education solutions manager at Lenovo. “We are very excited that Splashtop has delivered an interactive whiteboard to enable students and teachers to leverage the power of writing and annotation with our Android ThinkPad Tablet and its digital stylus”.
