Remote Whiteboard Using Drawing Pen Display

Help me give my students a whiteboard that I can draw on remotely! My laptop does not have touchscreen, and it is hard to draw math equations and diagrams using the mouse.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Teaching 'Introduction to Computer Science' to high school students is very rewarding: unlike myself, who remembers his first computer in 1984 at the age of 9 (and certainly no internet!), these students have all grown up in an always-on, internet-enabled, supercomputer-in-their pockets digital age.

My students are inquisitive, intelligent and eager to learn.

They also want to explore in tangible and hands-on ways what makes their computers work: from the 1s and 0s, to logical thinking, algorithms, websites, ASCII encoding, HTML and much more. These scholars explore not only the logical and mathematical ideas inherent in computer science, but are also engaged in real-world visualizations of these concepts.

My Project

I am teaching some students in-person and some through remote learning; if we need to close down the school building for any reason, all students will learn remotely.

As a math and computer science teacher, I need to be able to draw on my screen using an electronic drawing pen display: this will allow me to present my whiteboard, digitally, and broadcast this to my remote learning students.

With this, I can diagram and explain concepts, solve mathematical equations, and annotate webpages using the pen / stylus.

While I have this feature already when I'm teaching in the classroom (using our "SMART BOARD", which is fantastic), I don't have this facility for remote-learning. I can only draw basic things with my mouse, and they aren't very good (or legible)... and creating more professional slideshows to explain a quick concept takes too long...

I can (and have!) resorted to pen and paper, and then show the paper on my webcam... but the students can't zoom in, use it / see it later (etc.)
