I love technology. I totally want what you just described; but if you don't have a "family whiteboard" get one now. Even if its just the low-tech kind with markers. I can't tell you how awesome it is to watch my (gradeschool age) kids sketch their ideas after being brought up with ours.

I have a friend who painted an entire wall in his house with blackboard paint, to be used with chalk. It's actually rather gorgeous. The kid isn't old enough yet to draw on it, but we certainly had a lot of fun with it :)

The parents of my girlfriend just let her draw on the walls when she was young (<4).

After the years it got hidden behind furniture, because she was so small back then and couldn't draw >1m.
