I have used Bitpaper until recently for my Maths tutoring. I am now looking for a good alternative and I’m wondering if Miro may be the answer.

On Bitpaper I liked the feature that the whiteboard had several ‘pages’.  So when I planned my lesson, I would put different questions on different pages of the whiteboard.  

Is the Miro whiteboard just one loooooong whiteboard?  And if it is, how long is it?  Can I just continue moving down the whiteboard and continue to add more and more content?  The Bitpaper whiteboard had a limit of 100 pages.  

The picture is a snippet of the section on the Bitpaper whiteboard where you can click on a different page number and then that section of the whiteboard will show.  Anything like this on Miro?

Thanks for you help, much appreciated.

 

Hi ​@mathsconfidencewithcarla 

Well, Miro is not exactly like other tools - but hopefully its advantages can outweigh its disadvantages!

I’m a college teacher, so I use Miro for both collaboration in student projects as well as a replacement for PowerPoint for teaching slides. My boards have dozens and dozens of frames - so running out of space has never been an issue for me.

Now here’s the melancholy news. Any object in Miro (frames, text, images, etc.) has its own URL, so it is very easy to set up something like a navigation, as you can see here:

By clicking on the little arrow, it will jump to whatever object you linked.  Now, I say melancholy news, because IMHO - and in the opinion of many people - those microscopic arrows are quite tiny. It would be nice to have something larger.

Now . . . if you use frames, then you can quite easily navigate, as shown here with thumbnails,

or as shown here with text navigation:

 

So while I don’t know your other product, I’d say (1) Miro is plenty big; (2) if you use so-called “frames” for your content then you have a very easy way to jump from frame to frame; (3) if you want to jump from object to object (such an from an image here to another image there ) - possibly, but you’ll have to deal with those microscopic-sized arrows.

Hope this helps!

Cheers, Ken
