We have been fully remote since school started and will continue to be remote for the foreseeable future. All assignments and projects are computer based. The district has provided devices for students, but they have minimal capabilities. My students are doing their best to complete assignments and participate in lessons from their computers, but they have to type in text boxes or try to draw using a mouse or trackpad. I use a similar pad to teach and have found it invaluable. I would love for them to have the ability to draw pictures to illustrate their mathematical thinking and show their work!
