An attempt: Online Interactive Whiteboard - Imagination Cubed

1st attempt
Have just tried this online 'interactive whiteboard'... looks interesting... it allows one to draw easily with the mouse (well, the entire web browser turns into a drawing area).

The only disadvantage is, it could not be 'saved online'. Each time a piece of work is completed, one will be prompted to save and email to the user.

Below is a sample of 'sent' work - it comes in the form of hyperlink.

2nd attempt:
Have made this attempt after retrieving the file and scribbling on it. Notice that a new URL is emailed over.

It comes with the 'animation' on the sequence the object is drawn... then allows the user to continue to draw. So, it serves like a recorder of the event (from beginning till where it stops), while the old drawing still remain in the server. The original piece of work will not be overwritten.
