Lucyboard use case
Do not explain where students should look. Show them one board.
PDF here, notes here, quiz here, student answer here. Lucyboard keeps the live lesson in one place so the tool does not become the lesson.
Short answer
An online whiteboard for teachers should quickly bring students in, show material and leave a useful note after class.
Lucyboard works as the live teaching center: input material, shared work, quick check and recap on one board.
students can join by link · PDF, quiz and flashcard stay near notes · works for 1:1 and small groups

Teacher checklist
Prepare the first online lesson without overloading the board
Start with the few pieces that make the lesson easier to follow.
Name the lesson goal
Write one sentence that says what students should understand by the end.
Paste the starting material
Make the worksheet, PDF or text visible before the lesson starts.
Leave space for the student
The board should be shared work, not a finished slide.
Prepare one check
A quiz or flashcard is enough to test the key moment.
First 10 minutes
How a teacher can start without chaos
The first minutes should set the lesson context, not explain a tool.
Before students join
- write the goal
- paste starting material
- leave space for answers
After they join
- make sure everyone sees the same area
- ask one diagnostic question
- avoid revealing the whole note too early
End
- leave a short recap
- mark review material
- return to the board next lesson
Who it's for
Best for teachers running live online lessons
- online teachers who use PDFs, worksheets or diagrams
- language teachers and subject tutors teaching small groups
- small schools that want one clear lesson workspace
- educators who need students to act, not just watch a shared screen
The student should not have to learn the tool first
For live teaching, the best interface is the one that lets the student start working quickly. If the first five minutes are tool instructions, the lesson already lost energy.
Lucyboard keeps the board simple at the student side: open the link, see the material, answer on the board and return to the recap later.
First lesson without feature overload
Goal. Write one sentence that defines success for the lesson.
Material. Paste the source material before students join.
Activity. Leave one area where students actually work.
PDF, explanation and activity in one view
Teachers often work around the same problem: material in one place, explanation in another, answers somewhere else. The more tabs you add, the more you spend managing attention.
Put the PDF or worksheet on the board, write next to it and leave a clear area for the student's answer. Add a quick quiz only when it helps you decide what to explain next.
A board is not a full school system
Lucyboard does not need to replace your LMS, calendar or payment flow. It should own the live lesson space.
That clear boundary is useful for small schools too: keep admin elsewhere, but make the actual lesson calm and easy to follow.
Lucyboard vs the usual stack
Lucyboard or a generic whiteboard
Generic whiteboards are fine for drawing. Teachers often need the material, activity and check in one place.
- PDF material
Lucyboard — board includes the lesson source
Usually elsewhere - teacher shares a separate file
- Student answer
Lucyboard — student works on the board
Usually elsewhere - answer lands in chat or a doc
- Quick check
Lucyboard — quiz can sit near the task
Usually elsewhere - another app interrupts the flow
- Lesson recap
Lucyboard — board remains as the lesson memory
Usually elsewhere - teacher sends a bundle of screenshots
Questions
Questions about online whiteboards for teachers
These answers focus on everyday live teaching, not school administration.

Can I use PDFs on the board?
Yes. PDF or worksheet material can sit directly on the board next to notes and answers.
Is Lucyboard only for 1:1 lessons?
No. It works for 1:1 tutoring and small groups where shared context matters.
Does it replace a video call?
No. Keep Zoom or Meet for conversation. Use Lucyboard as the workspace.
