Students who study math, chemistry or physics create lots of handwritten notes.
How can instructors help make math and STEM information more accessible and engaging for every student, breaking away from pen and paper as the only option?
Here are two tools that can help.
EquatIO
EquatIO allows you to create equations, formulas, and more…digitally.
EquatIO gives students the opportunity to speak, draw or type problems and equations directly onto their devices. By moving to digital instruction, EquatIO makes math more accessible. Students with learning difficulties or visual impairments can hear their math read aloud to them.
Using the mobile version, students can take a photograph of written work and create a digital document.
Students and educators can also create and customize graphs with EquatIO. Powered by Desmos graphing calculator, EquatIO helps students to visualize and explore a written equation.
EquatIO is available as a Chrome extension, Web app or as a desktop app for either Windows or Mac. Try EquatIO free here.
