One of the challenges during remote learning is switching back and forth to a document projector to show how to solve math problems. When I switch, it is several steps to access the different camera and often causes my laptop to shut down. I'm kicked out of our meeting and my students are left without an instructor. It's frustrating needing to wait for my computer to restart each time. Using an iPad for instruction would allow me to write directly on the screen to show them how to solve the problems. The mobility of the iPad allows me to use it separately from my several other tabs that are open on my laptop during instruction. It will help me to multi-task and a create a more efficient use of our limited class time.
