I used the ipad to create a remote blackboard and a space for sharing and annotating text while teaching hybrid and holding office hours by zoom. I used this in several classes, but primarily in my elementary Greek class where access to a blackboard is especially important. I used the ipad in conjunction with the app. Notability. Through Notability I had access to various kinds of “paper” (blank, lined, graph etc) that I could write on and highlight with various colors. By connecting my ipad to the computer from which I was zooming (whether in the classroom or from my personal computer during office hours), I could then share my screen so that remote students could see the screen I was writing on at home and students in person could see it projected in the classroom. I could also, by putting a pdf of a document into Notability, such as a handout or a piece of text that we were reading, annotate the text and project the document in the same way.<\/p>\n
This technology was truly transformative and greatly enhanced my ability to teach in a hybrid format. While we are, thankfully, not teaching by zoom anymore, I continue to make use of this set up when I need to meet with a student by zoom, and would definitely recommend it to others.<\/p>\n
