'''Whiteboard for Android''' is a digital whiteboard designed to be used on Android devices. If you have a '''ViewSonic''' device in your school, you will notice the interactive '''ViewBoard''' has an Android operating system. These devices come with myViewBoard apps preinstalled, one of them being [[Whiteboard for Android]].

This guide was created with students in mind, to help them join and participate in Whiteboard sessions.

If you are an educator, view the [[Whiteboard for Android Quick Start Guide|Quick Start Guide]] to get your classes up and running in no time or the [[Whiteboard for Android|full guide]] to have a complete overview of the app.

For a convenient overview of Whiteboard's canvas tools, you can [[Whiteboard for Android Toolbar Icons|learn more about its toolbars here]].

==Join a Session==
It's time for class! Listen to the teachers instructions and take out your laptop, iPad, or other mobile device while the Whiteboard session information is being shared. Depending on your device, you will be given two options to interact with Whiteboard on different platforms.
