Digital Scratch Paper for STEM

Digital Scratch Paper for STEM

ClassPad - https://classpad.net/us - is a fantastic tool for STEM Learning Environments.

It makes it easy for educators and their learners to create original materials.

Whether learners need extra practice, educators want to make their maths materials more hands-on and relevant for their learners, or learners are creating proofs, ClassPad is an excellent addition to the learning environment.

ClassPad could also be helpful for learners who struggle to get ideas out through paper/pencil work. 

The ability to use a tablet or computer may help those students with dysgraphia excel in the STEM Learning Environment.

This provides a great way to talk perspective, different approaches to problems, and how we solve problems in life.

It also provides educators with additional insight into how their learners are approaching and thinking through problems. Rather than simply looking for a right/wrong answer, this could provide the space to talk mathematics with learners.
