Semester over. Packing away my whiteboard markers. Hope to find them again in January.

What kind of markers do you use?, I hear you ask.

Good question. None of the markers provided by my university do the job, they lack flow and die an ugly death within half an hour.

There's one type that works: Pilot V Boardmaster (bullet tip). They have a good rich flow & replaceable ink capsules.

I buy these myself, just to have the joy of untroubled whiteboard use.

One of the things I most like about working at a university is being surrounded by smart and *creative* young people.

This is George Gibbs, one of the Master of Science students in our Department of Pest-Management and Conservation at #LincolnUniversityNZ.

And this is George's whiteboard. He's been gradually adding to it over the past year. It's amazing!

George is an entomologist doing a research project on the taxonomy and ecology of NZ's praying mantis.

Can anyone recommend a PC-compatible Bluetooth pen and tablet? I need it for sharing text and diagrams on an interactive whiteboard, *not* for illustration/graphic design.

Boosts appreciated 😃

PS. A large working area is preferred—I have big writing and will sometimes need to include smaller details/annotations on diagrams.

"Collaborative #whiteboard app maker (.) 'tldraw' made waves (.) by releasing a prototype of a feature called 'Make it Real' that lets users draw an image of software and bring it to life using #AI. The feature uses OpenAI's GPT-4V API to visually interpret a vector drawing into functioning Tailwind #CSS and #JavaScript web code that can replicate user interfaces or even create simple implementations of #games like Breakout."
