Physics Loves Math and Illustrations!

Help me give my students an enhanced distance learning experience by providing us with a computer that supports annotation with a stylus instead of a mouse. Legibility rocks!

My Students

I have over 200 students this year, with a variety of skills and interests. My classes are made up of students in special education, autistic, English learner and honors programs.

To help them access the material I like to draw illustrations and annotate examples.

However, now I am trying to do it with a computer mouse. You can only imagine what my diagrams look like. The kids are great and don't make fun of my drawings, most of the time. They know I am doing my best, but I know some of the images are hard to decipher.

My Project

Annotating a screen with a mouse looks like a mouse did the annotating. I love to illustrate ideas and use math to solve physics problems. While we have been distance learning, my artistic talents have suffered, and my students can't tell if I am drawing an elephant or a car, or a zero or a six.

I am requesting a Surface Pro so that I may use a stylus to clearly annotate drawings and solve physics problems.

When explaining concepts I like to enhance the lessons with pictures and videos. I often stop to draw on the video or picture to help explain science concepts. For example, I may use arrows to signify the direction of a force, or assign values to use as an example for a physics problem. I have two colleagues who are using surface pros, one for math and one for science and they love them.

Currently, I am working from home, but this technology will serve the same purpose in person. There are so many wonderful and amazing resources out there to engage students.
