That said, I’ve heard that you can use an iPhone as a remote in the newer collaborative version of Explain Everything.
#ASTROPAD NOTES PRO#
There’s a lot less space to move around in my classroom this term so I haven’t missed the capability very much. Astropad Studio, like many of its creative pro software brethren, has chosen to go the subscription route for this app: You can pay 7.99/month, or 64. This product has one job, and it does that job well it mirrors your Mac onto your iPad. Astropad Standard, as the name suggests, is from Astropad again. I wandered around the room a fair bit last semester and really appreciated being able to advance my slides with a remote control. Astropad Studio is priced at 79.99 a year (plus they have a 30-day trial at the moment), and to know more about it, here’s the official Astropad Studio page.

The screen is big enough to show the full set of slides open on one side with my notes on the other. The MacBook on the podium/table isn’t connected to anything and is only there for me to look at during class. Procrete is considered the defacto last I heard (please tell me folks if Im outdated), and its only 9.99US. Concepts is free, as well, with addons only if you want them. Since the math is always shown on the big screen (instead of a chalkboard), everyone in the room can read it. Any application instead of Astropad Is there any alternatives of Astropad I think its quite expensive for me. Handwriting the equations encourages them to take notes and forces me to go slow. Pretty often I do a bunch of algebra by hand with the class, but I also include it neatly typeset on later slides for their later reference. It will be interesting to see if the lack of recordings increases attendance.
And since I’m teaching the same class at 10:10am and 1:25pm my students have two chances to see it live. I am, however, posting pdf’s of my slides with all my in class annotations. The iPad is also perfectly happy to run MobLab games and manage PollEverywhere classroom surveys.ĭue mostly to technical limitations of Explain Everything and the iPad 1, I’m not video recording my lectures this semester. And when I run out of space on a slide, I just use the hand tool to free up room: Extend your Mac display to any iPad or Mac with Luna Display. Turn your iPad into a drawing tablet with Astropad Studio. The Apple Pencil is super responsive–It’s so much better than the performance I got last semester with the combination of PowerPoint (on Mac) and Astropad (espnon iPad).

#ASTROPAD NOTES PDF#
The Explain Everything app displays my stack of pdf slides and has great annotation tools.
It’s plugged into the projector with a simple Lightning-to-HDMI connector and has no problem making it through a whole day on the battery. This semester I’ve streamlined my approach and while it’s still not perfect, it’s a lot better. And then it didn’t even work as well as I wanted. Last semester I brought a huge bag of hardware to class every day and spent 10-15m setting it up.
