Leave it to the savvy people at Apple to quickly, almost immediately according to the author, to develop multiple apps to use the iPad as an interactive whiteboard.  Now in place of the expensive and huge smart boards teachers are able to use the iPad with many of the same capabilities.  The article discusses 5 FREE applications.  The five free apps offer some different features but they all can be used in real time to foster collaboration.  All of the applications offer an unlimited whiteboard space since you can zoom in and out to accommodate the text or illustrations.  In addition, you are able to share the whiteboard space in real time with other iPad users.  Great way to collaborate!    

The apps are:  SyncSpace, ZigZag Board, Lucid Chart, Concept Board, and Whiteboard Lite.
