My idea is to have a few tool "text editing", "line drawing", 
"eraser...", and they would work closely to how you use a white board. 
And for instance, the "text editing" tool, if you click on an existing 
text box, it should edit it, but if you click on some empty space, it 
should create a new text box, and allow the user to start typing.
