Edit Lock
Lock the board when it matters.
Comment enseignez-vous ?
When everyone can edit, a carefully prepared board gets moved, scribbled on or erased mid-explanation. Edit Lock lets you lock the board so students see everything but can’t change it, then unlock it when it’s their turn.
Your student keeps doodling on the worked example while you explain it. Lock editing, finish your explanation, then unlock the board when it’s their turn.
With 25 students on one board, someone always moves or erases something. Lock editing while you teach or test, and unlock it for group work.
Participants accidentally drag around the material you prepared. Lock the board while you present, then open it up for the exercise.
When students on devices can edit the class board, the lesson you prepared gets rearranged. Lock editing while you teach from the front, and unlock it for practice.
Participants on laptops can move the slides you set up on the board. Lock it while you present on the big screen, then unlock it for the group exercise.
If your child can’t resist drawing on everything, lock the board while you explain, then unlock it when it’s their turn to try.

The problem
Prepared material gets moved or erased
On a shared board, anyone can change anything. Worked examples get scribbled on, test questions get answered by the wrong person, and the teacher’s setup falls apart.
La méthode habituelle
Teachers ask students not to touch the board, rebuild what got moved, or present a static screen share that students can’t work on later.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Edit locking prevents students from changing the whiteboard. While the teacher works an example, a pill at the top says only she can edit, the drawing tools are grayed out for students, and when a student tries to write, a notice says editing is disabled. She unlocks it when it is the students’ turn.
Quels sont les changements ?
Content that stays intact. Teachers present or test without anything being moved or erased.

What it looks like
Dans la pratique
While the teacher works an example, a pill at the top says only she can edit and students’ tools are grayed out. She unlocks the board when it’s their turn.
In a 1:1 lesson
You lock the board while you set up a practice test. Your student sees the questions but can’t write until you unlock it and start the clock.
In a group class
You lock the board for a five-minute explanation. A student who tries to write sees a notice that editing is disabled, and your diagram stays intact.
In a virtual training
You lock the onboarding checklist while you walk through it. Then you unlock it so participants can tick off each step themselves.
In your classroom
You lock the class board while you model the first problem on the display. Students’ tools are grayed out until you unlock the board for their turn.
In the training room
You lock the board while presenting the case study on the big screen. When groups start work, you unlock it so they can add their notes.
At home
You lock the board while you show your daughter how to set out a long division. Then you unlock it and she tries the next one herself.
