ReplyDeleteif a person had an ipad, it would be awesome to use airsketch. I am just learning to use an airliner and wow it is nice to pass it to a student to control the lesson.
This would be a great tool to use as the teacher walks around the room monitoring students, talking, and accepting comments from students. The tool would enable both student and teacher to focus and point out things on the screen to follow along. This is more effective than simply a pointer or laser pointer. It can stay up for as long as needed, and perhaps saved through screen captures.
