Aww is a collaborative online whiteboard tool that also works on mobile devices. Think of it as a replacement for a hand-held whiteboard that students can use to sketch their understanding. The free version does have some minimal ads.
Although you can start a new board without logging in, there is an option to login with your Google account!
Once a board is created, simply click on the Invite button to copy a link that can be emailed to others for synchronous or asynchronous collaboration.
Users can also set up a board and elect to distribute a link that creates a copy for each user.
Boards can also be exported as PDFs or as images, which can be uploaded into Google Classroom.
