El nuevo estándar implica un mayor uso de herramientas de colaboración y trabajo remoto como Trello, Slack, Notion, WebEx y Zoom. Pero, ¿qué otras herramientas pueden utilizar sus equipos para colaborar de forma remota en ideas complejas?
Perhaps these digital whiteboard apps can help you. While many of these solutions are aimed at education professionals, they should be useful for any knowledge worker trying to explain something, and for group collaboration within teams. All of the following are compatible with iPads (most of them also support iPhones), some offer a native Mac client, and many also support additional platforms. It should be noted that Mac users with a Mac M1 (such as the fantastic Mac mini) should push application developers for Mac M1 support. Where an iPad app is also available on the Mac App Store for Apple Silicon Macs, I noticed. Expect Apple Pencil support on most of these, but check the developer's websites to make sure you have the tools you need.
InVision
iPad, iPhone, available on the Mac App Store as an iOS app. InVision is a powerful and complete solution designed to support the brainstorming and design of digital products. It offers many tools in addition to the standard digital whiteboard, including the ability to present and mirror files on any device and collaborate.

The tool integrates with industry standard solutions such as Slack, Photoshop, Sketch, and Teams. It's free for up to three users, otherwise €7.95/user/month. There are business plans available.

With a range of powerful drawing tools, a wealth of templates, and rich integration with third-party apps via the Miro Marketplace, Miro is as useful for classic brainstorming as it should be for creating whiteboards.

IPEVO scorer
iOS, available from the Mac App Store. IPEVO Annotator is a well-equipped interactive whiteboard tool. It includes drawing, pen, modeling and stamping tools, as well as useful editing tools and the ability to allow two users to work together at once. This is a real-time document markup and presentation tool, though there is no test input, which is a drag if using a mouse. This solution is a really useful tool for brainstorming and working together on documentation. It's also free.
Explain everything

Drawings are sharp and drawing is quick, thanks to the use of Metal, and there's a virtual pointer tool to help point things out.
Good grades
iPad, iOS, Mac. More than just a whiteboard, GoodNotes is a powerful note-taking solution that includes shareable notes and documents. It also offers handwriting recognition, which means notes written with your Apple Pencil are as searchable as anything else.

ShowMe interactive whiteboard
Available for iPad and Mac App Store. ShowMe is a free and simple whiteboard solution that allows you to create, save and share whiteboard tutorials. It's pretty limited in what it can do compared to other apps in this collection, but it does provide a simple and inexpensive whiteboard to complement a Zoom meeting or FaceTime chat. There's also quite an expensive (for what you get) collection of in-app purchases, including ShowMe Premium ($79.99), which lets you upload more content and share stuff in closed study groups. . Let me know how you get on with these solutions, and if you think I missed a particularly good deal that offers iPad and Mac support, drop me a line.
