Recently I discovered the Web Paint Chrome Extension and absolutely fell in love with the annotating feature! This allows the user to easily annotate over any browser based webpage. Immediately I thought of a way to apply this to math. Graphing coordinates seems so much easier when one can use a stylus, finger or touchpad to place a dot where the x and y axis intersect.
Steps:
- Add a Graph paper background to a Google Slides
- Annotate over the slide by using the tools provided in the web paint extension
- Use the Save to Drive extension to take a screenshot and auto-save the work to the student’s Google Drive.
