Twiddla

This tool would be useful if you were having students meet and create something. Also, It could be used for tutoring. It looks like they could use audio also. They are able to post media, draw, and use auto shapes. It also has a chat function as well. I think that Twiddla would be extremely helpful with anything graphic that a group is trying to brainstorm about as well as during activities where students are looking at an image or primary source and discussing what they can learn from it. I love the fact that you can upload documents, images, websites creating a very dynamic space with which to analyze, brainstorm, or collaboratively create something.

I would use it as an extension to an activity done in class. The only thing that would concern me is if there is a way to record what they have done and send you a link of it so you could review it. I did find out that with the professional versions (or higher) you can use screen capture to save what you are doing. There is also a save feature so that you can save your workspace. I think it would also make a great space to create step by step directions especially when it pertained to using something virtual. Multiple people could be involved in creating the directions and step by step instructions, possibly even in other languages.

I teach at an online school part time and we use a program called elluminate live. This does very similar things but it does allow the session to be recorded and viewed by other people

here is the site to take a look [] I explored the site using my personal blog as an example. Twiddla would be a great tool when working on graphics with someone that is not physically located near you, to get perspective, suggestions, ideas.
