Linda,
Good ideas. This sounds like a beginning literacy class. Would this be
too difficult for them to do online? How comfortable are they keying in
letters? I assume if they are just getting comfortable with a pen that
the online pen might be daunting. If not, it might also be fun to see if
after a number of sounds/words are typed by you on a main computer that
they can --as an intial step --come to the computer and try circling or
underlining the sound/word that you say with the colored pen.

Steve, i don't know how practical this would be with an on-line
whiteboard, but I use whiteboards in my classroom to practice phonics. I
pronounce a sound and students write the letter they hear. After I check
all the boards, they erase. Then we up the ante. I pronounce the all the
sounds in a word they they know, they put the sounds together and write
the word.

used this or another in class? If so, how? Or can we think of some
