Session Description
Creating digital math used to be a difficult process. It can be complicated to type and frustrating for students and teachers alike. We will focus on simplifying this process using EquatIO, enhancing ways students can respond to math and science problems digitally in Microsoft Word and G-Suite (focus in Word)
Math and science topics require computational thinking, but at heart the goal is to communicate their thought process and 'show their work'. Creating and communicating math and science digitally is an accessibility issue that we need to address now to prepare students for an increasingly digital world.
This session will show students and teachers how to use EquatIO to create digital representations of their current work, provide ways this math can be created accessible for students, and show what we are working on for future updates.
