# Whiteboarding recommendations

## Scenario

When I "whiteboarding" i include any scenario where you are drawing something for the sake of communicating visually.

Example:

* Online teaching
* Zoom call
* Recording Khan-Academy style videos

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are new to drawing tablets, read this first: [Beginner's guide to drawing tablets](/drawtab/basics/beginners-guide.md). This buying guide builds on the beginner's guide. If you also just want to quickly get to some beginner recommendations then go here: [Beginner recommendations](/drawtab/recs/scenario-recs/beginner-recs.md).

Also: [Whiteboarding with drawing tablets](/drawtab/basics/scenarios/whiteboarding.md)

[Pen tablets vs pen displays](/drawtab/buying/pen-tablets-vs-pen-displays.md)
{% endhint %}

## Good news

You don't need a fancy tablet for white boarding

* For pen tablets (screenless tablets) - Any medium size beginner pen tablet will work. See: See: [Beginner pen tablets](/drawtab/recs/scenario-recs/beginner-recs/beginner-pen-tablet-recs.md)
* For pen displays (screen tablets) - [Beginner pen displays](/drawtab/recs/scenario-recs/beginner-recs/beginner-pen-display-recs.md)

## Pen tablet vs Pen display

Both work, but if you are drawing things live for these scenarios, I do encourage you to look into a pen display (screen tablet).

For his Khan Academy videos, the last time I checked, Sal Khan used an Intuos Pro Medium (PTH-660).
