How Pencil Spaces solves it

The tutor switches the board to grid paper, types the key steps with the Text tool and moves the messy sketch aside with Select. The student sees one clear idea at a time, laid out in order, and copies it neatly into her notes.

  • TextAvailableThe Text tool adds typed text anywhere on the board, editable, resizable and restyled as the lesson moves.
  • SelectAvailableWith the Select tool, pick up ink, text, shapes, images or apps and move, resize or delete them in a click.
  • Board BackgroundsAvailableBoard Backgrounds switch any board to grid, dot or ruled paper, in the color you like, and make it the default.
  • 100+ SimulationsComing soonMore than 100 interactive simulations will be built into the Space, so students explore abstract ideas hands-on, together.

The usual way

Teachers explain again, the same way, more slowly.

A tip you can use today

Use one clear diagram or model for each idea, and clear the board between ideas.
