What is Web-Based Whiteboard

In this chapter, the author highlights the tools used in an online environment geared toward practicing teachers earning their master's degree. The focus will be on web-based platforms and the importance of both synchronous and asynchronous online learning. The author offers existing and new online instructors' ideas on how to structure their own synchronous learning environments. She will support her suggestions with relevant research references. Samples of teachers' representations used during class sessions will be included so the reader has a visual understanding of how the tools work. Asynchronous ideas will also be discussed for those who integrate both styles in their teaching.
