Snorkl's whiteboard allows you to create interactive objects that students can move, duplicate, or edit during their responses. These tools are perfect for sorting, matching, modeling, and other hands-on activities.
✏️ Types of Interactive Objects
When creating an activity, you can choose how students interact with objects on the whiteboard:
Manipulative: Students can drag and move the object around the whiteboard.
Infinite Clone: Students can drag out multiple copies of an object while the original stays in place.
Edit Content: Students can edit the content of a shape, text box, or graph.
None [default]:The object remains static and cannot be moved or edited by students.
⚙️ How to Create Interactive Objects
When setting up a Snorkl whiteboard, click the object you want students to interact with.
In the toolbar that appears, open the dropdown menu for the object's interaction settings.
Select Manipulative, Infinite Clone, or Edit Content, depending on how you want students to interact with the object.
Your selected setting will determine how students can use that object during their response.
📌 Note: Manipulatives can be moved and rotated, but students cannot resize them.
💡 Best Uses
Sorting activities: Have students drag objects into categories.
Matching or labeling: Let students move labels or images to the correct locations.
Math modeling: Use infinite clones to provide multiple copies of shapes, counters, or other manipulatives.
Writing and editing: Let students complete or revise text directly on the whiteboard.
