Interactive Whiteboards
The best ideas are ones created and refined by multiple people sharing the same goal. Interactive whiteboard apps allow you to work together with colleagues and workmates in order to serve any necessary collaborative purpose, from making a joint research paper or project to putting together your next big presentation for work. Needing to work from home doesn't mean you need to work alone!
