BlsdMama Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So I am familiar with Zoom - is there a better medium than this? I'm using it on a PC. Essentially I'm tutoring a student in math. I need to use a whiteboard proficiently. I tried Zoom today and their whiteboard but I am using my mouse. It's SO sloppy. Can I attach my iPad by USB and use it to write? Or is there a tool that would transfer to be able to quickly write using a pen of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Home Alabama Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Kelly, A teacher at the co-op where I teach showed me this one: https://awwapp.com/ I think it probably works very well for most people. I tried it with my English class and had trouble with it. The difference, I think, was that I tried using it from home. We have satellite internet, and somehow, I think that influenced how it worked. When I first tried it, it did work. It was wonderful. I never confirmed what the problem really was. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Try scribblar.com Low cost and the SMOOTHEST whiteboard around. I would use it for my online classes if it had a 'record' feature. They have a free trial. up to 5 in room at one time for $14 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This app on the iPad is AMAZING: https://explaineverything.com/ It's a shared whiteboard, so teacher and student can both write at the same time. I used a stylus, or sometimes just my finger. It also records sound, if you want it. There are "sheets" so when you fill up the screen, you just swipe over to a fresh sheet, and they're all saved together. I used it to tutor a student of mine who was on homebound instruction. We both loved it (he was only 9 at the time 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I tutor often on various platforms with a USB "pen tablet" like this one. There are definitely bigger / nicer ones out there, but I needed something cheap just to try, and this one has held up well for nearly 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I just re-read your post. You need a graphics tablet-- it is a pen-like mouse. I have the Wacom Intuos CTL-480 There are several models that are more pricey-- but this low level one is perfect for teaching Math (pricier ones are for digital art). There is a small learning curve-- but it is SOOOO much easier and neater than using a regular mouse!!! Amazon, Best Buy... most tech stores... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
