App review: Scrawlar

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my thoughts on app I found out about via twitter. It is called Scrawlar. Scrawlar brings together a collaborative doc, drawing, and backchat into one easy to use app that you can use on your tablet, phone, or laptop.

What is Scrawler?

• Scrawlar is a web 2.0 tool that combines an interactive whiteboard, collaborative document, and chat feature into one user friendly classroom tool. 

How to set up Scrawlar:

• To create a Scrawlar account please go to http://www.scrawlar.com/signup.php
• Complete the requested information 
• Check the box to agree
• Click submit
• Once your account is set up login to the account by going to: http://www.scrawlar.com/login.php
• Select teacher
• Login to the account

Once you are logged in you will be directed to a work space where you can create a collaborative document, a sketch, and back chat (class feed). You can create new docs to share with students or check what has been shared with you.

Manage students in Scrawlar

• To create student accounts for your class select manage students
• Complete the information required for each student
• When an account is created a password will be identified for each student
• Students can login to Scrawler and find docs that have created and that have been shared with them

Sharing docs or sketches in Scrawlar

• Create a document you would like to share
• When document is complete click the share button (on your workspace, it is a green button on the right hand side)
• Select which users you would like to share your document with 
• Can select if the user can view or edit the doc
• Click update

Shared docs

• To view docs or sketches that have been shared with you select Shared with me
• You will find all docs or sketches shared with you here 
• You will also see the permissions a user has set for you (view, edit) 

Class feed

• The class feed feature is like a back chat
• Users can type whats on their mind here
• Responses will be displayed (most recent first)

How to use Scrawlar in your classroom:

• Collaboration between students
• Write and revise drafts of work 
• Group work 
• Use as alternative to Google docs
• Annotation on a drawing between several students  
• Back chat
