Using iPads as Whiteboards in Remote Learning:
This July 22, 2020 session, led by Mark DeLuca, explored strategies and best practices for using iPads as whiteboards when leading remote classes via Zoom.
Whiteboarding Solutions by Level of Difficulty:
- Low-tech: Use a drawing pad and hold it up to the screen.
- Mid-tech: You can use the Zoom Whiteboard for simple things.
- High-tech: For more complex things (equations, formulas) you could use a touchscreen PC, or a tablet (iPad or Android). You then log into the same Zoom room on both your computer and touchscreen devices and share your screen on the touchscreen device when needed.
If you have an iOS device, Zoom has additional ways to share your screen.
