For teachers and volunteers
Translanguaging Whiteboard
A full-screen board for your lesson. Write an English word, then show it in your class's languages right beside it. English stays the spine, the translation is the helper.
The whiteboard is a teacher tool, so it opens from the Teachers or Volunteers hub rather than from a bare link.

Put it on the board
Click a language and the translation is written under the English word, smaller and quieter, so English stays the one being taught.
While you teach
- Teaching on Zoom: share the browser window, not the whole screen, so your Zoom controls stay private.
- The toolbar folds into a small green dot if it is in the way. Click the dot to bring it back.
- The board comes in white, green, or black. Tap the Board button while the board is up to change it.
- Save writes the whole board to a picture you can send to your class after the lesson.
- The board clears when you close it, so save anything you want to keep before you leave.
