What “type” of document/project does it create (ie. Prezi helps you create online presentations)?
Creates an online white board.

What “type” of project would it be best suited for (essay, class presentation, group work…)?
This Web 2.0 tool would be suited for group work as it allows multiple users to collaborate on a single whiteboard. Due to the way this tool is structured, it seems as if this tool could be useful for a collaborated art project.

How do you use it? 
The tool is used for simple drawings. You simply give the link to the room you're in to whoever you're working with and you can collaborate on a single online whiteboard.  

Create a “sample” project.
I drew an image of one of the computers in the learning commons.












Create a tutorial or instructions for student: 
Go on the website and there is a giant button in the center of the screen. Once you click that button and customize the kind of screen you'd like, you are entered into a page. If you give someone else a link to that page then they are given the permission to join the room and draw on the whiteboard same as you. There are many different option to choose from when working with this Web 2.0 tool. The background in the picture is only the default. Additional backgrounds of big squares, lines, and blank are also available. Chat allows you to communicate with the people inside of your private NoteBookCast room. All the Tools and Shapes given the option of changing colour with the tab on the very left.
