Magic Pen
I would LOVE to see the Magic Pen on Whiteboard. More and more teachers are signing into the board and delivering their lessons through Whiteboard/Lumio but they miss Magic Pen. How great would it be to have the benefits of Magic Pen? Disappearing Ink, Spotlight, and Zoom!

Thanks for your feedback. We are interested in supporting the benefits of Magic Pen. How would you expect this tool to work on student devices when the teacher uses it on the board?

This feature is so important when delivering instruction virtually. It eliminates the burden of having to delete unnecessary annotations.

I have used the spotlight to feature an item (vocab word, person, image, etc) as students enter the room. This leads to student discussion, brainstorming, ideas on the item spotlighted.
Further I used the disappearing ink to engage students and keep attention in recording vocabulary words, math equations, etc that students need a glimpse of (as it disappears) to spark answers, discussion. -

In particular, the disappearing ink would be helpful. Alternatively, a button to delete a pen annotation layer before moving on to the next frame. For some of us, that actually might even be better?

It would be great if the students' devices would be able to reflect the changes made by the teacher in real-time(Like it does now with the standard pen.)
