The best classroom tech is the kind that makes life easier, not more complicated. That’s why teachers are loving ViewSonic’s myViewBoard. Unlike other whiteboard/smartboards that lock you into a specific device or operating system, myViewBoard works on any interactive device, laptop, or tablet so you can teach your way, wherever you and your students are.
Teachers appreciate that they can easily pull in videos, images, or web content, add interactive elements, and save everything with one click. Less setup, more flexibility, and a digital whiteboard that actually supports real classroom teaching. From simplifying prep to sparking student participation and collaboration, here are nine reasons teachers are such big fans of this tool.
1. Upgrade your existing content
Teachers can easily use their current lesson materials like PowerPoint slides, Google Slides, PDFs, and images. myViewBoard also works with special formats like Flipchart and Smart Notebook files, so switching from other tools is simple. Like using Google Slides or Powerpoint? No problem. Check out how this teacher uses her myViewBoard to view full-sized versions of slides she made in Google and edits them in real time.
2. Spark more student collaboration
With myViewBoard, up to six students can write at the same time on their own canvas. Teachers can add notes, give grades, and save each student’s work. Teacher Jessica K. shares, “I love having students come up and manipulate the board. They love to come up and write, highlight, move objects, etc.”
3. Supercharge your whiteboard pen
Customize the Shape pen for shapes or objects you use often. It’s great for math, music, or organizing ideas visually. Easy-to-use pen and shape tools include different color options and pen types such as brush, highlighter, AI pen, and more. Preset shape tools allow you to insert 3D shapes, lines, and tables instantly.
4. Upgrade your YouTube viewing
Sometimes small benefits make life so much easier. When asked about her favorite part of myViewBoard, teacher Adrienne T. didn’t hesitate: “The Magic Box: It holds a lot of magic here. … I love the YouTube feature because I can search for videos. Once I find a video I love, I can either preview it or add it to the canvas. … And what makes it so great is no ads. When I press play for my students, I don’t have to skip through the ads.”
5. Stop switching screens
Sometimes it’s the littlest time-savers that can make a big difference. With myViewBoard’s embedded browser, you can open websites—like phET for interactive science and math simulations—right within myViewBoard, making it easier than ever to bring dynamic content into your lessons.
Math teacher Carol H. shares, “The interactive board makes teaching math so much fun. It keeps students engaged and allows hands-on practice. I use it for all subjects, but math and calendar skills are a student favorite.”
myViewBoard has multiple interactive tools that allow students to visualize concepts like slope, angles, and measurement in real time, turning abstract ideas into concrete experiences. With the XY Graph, Ruler, and Protractor, teachers can easily demonstrate geometric constructions, graph equations, explore coordinate systems, and more. These tools make math not just accessible but genuinely fun.
7. Shine a light on what matters
Have any students who benefit from visual cues or need a little extra support staying engaged? If so, myViewBoard’s Spotlight tool is something you don’t want to miss. It easily allows you to highlight key parts of your lesson, a diagram, a sentence, or a math problem, so students will know exactly where to focus. Teachers love it because it keeps the whole class on track without having to constantly redirect attention. It’s like having a digital flashlight that guides learning in real time.
8. Gamify your lessons
The dice tool in myViewBoard is one of those simple features that can instantly boost classroom energy. You can roll one or two dice to generate numbers for quick math practice, but the tool gets even more interesting when you customize the dice with pictures or words. Then you’ve got a tool that works for vocabulary games, story starters, review activities, or even team challenges. It’s flexible enough to fit any subject, and because students never know what they’re going to roll, it keeps them engaged and ready to participate.
9. Boost recall with picture flashcards
myViewBoard allows you to create flashcards that combine pictures and text. This takes your review materials to the next level. You’re not just drilling facts, you’re helping students see connections and trigger memory through images, making recall stronger. And because you can build your flashcards right in the myViewBoard canvas, you can update or change the flashcards right in class based on what your students need to review.
No-prep, real-time comprehension checks. What a great idea! ClassSwift Lite is built right into myViewBoard, so teachers can launch quick checks for understanding without any extra setup. Just take a screenshot of anything on your whiteboard or from the web and instantly share it with students. You can ask multiple-choice, true-or-false, audio, or sketch-based questions. It’s a fast and easy way to see what students understand—using the content you’re already teaching.
