WHY USE WHITEBOARD PORTAL? 

As mobile device use may be prohibited in some classes or schools, users might not be able to interact with a Whiteboard through the myViewBoard Companion app.

Connecting to myViewBoard.com allows students to interact with a Whiteboard through a desktop web browser of a device provided by the school, such as a laptop or tablet.
