This article covers:
What is a Space?
A Space in Pencil Spaces is your online classroom. A Space has an infinite whiteboard canvas with built-in video conferencing. You can draw, write, share files, and collaborate in real time.
All Spaces are saved automatically and can be accessed anytime from your Pencil Spaces Home Page.
What is a Board?
A Board is an individual whiteboard canvas inside a Space. Each board gives you infinite room to create, brainstorm, or present ideas.
You can:
Create as many boards as you need
Rename, delete, and manage boards
Organize boards in a folder
In short, think of Boards as pages or sections within your Space, each one dedicated to a specific topic or activity.
What is a Room?
A Room is like a breakout area within a Space — perfect for smaller group discussions or focused collaboration.
You can create multiple Rooms inside a single Space, and each Room can contain its own set of Boards. This allows different teams or students to work independently while staying connected within the same Space.
Whiteboard Tools
Pencil Spaces features a powerful, interactive whiteboard that supports a wide range of content — including PDFs, images, and videos. You can even bring in your favorite apps or websites using the Web Viewer tool.
Beyond multimedia, the whiteboard also lets you collaborate in real time by writing, drawing, highlighting, adding notes, and much more.
