Viewport Indicator
Write where students can see.
Comment enseignez-vous ?
Students on smaller screens can’t see everything you can, so you write a step off the edge of their view without knowing. The Viewport Indicator outlines the area every student has on screen.
Your student is on a small laptop, and you’re on a big monitor. Dotted lines show you exactly what they can see, so you never write off their screen.
Students join on phones, tablets and laptops with very different screens. Dotted lines show the area everyone can see, so your writing stays inside it.
Participants on small screens miss what’s at the edge of yours. The indicator shows the area everyone shares, so your notes stay in view.
Students following on Chromebooks see less than your display shows. Dotted lines mark the area every student can see, so nothing important falls outside.
The big screen shows more than participants’ laptops. Dotted lines mark what everyone can see, so you write where every laptop shows it.
If your child uses a tablet, the indicator shows their teacher what fits on their screen, so nothing is written where they can’t see.

The problem
You write where students can’t see
Teachers often have bigger screens than students. Without knowing what each student can see, they write steps off the edge, and students miss them.
La méthode habituelle
Teachers ask “can everyone see this?”, keep zooming out, or discover the problem when a student asks what they missed.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
The viewport indicator draws dotted lines around the part of the board that all students can see at once, so the teacher knows what is on everyone’s screen.
Quels sont les changements ?
No step is written off-screen.
What it looks like
Dans la pratique
A teacher writes a solution and sees the dotted outline of her students’ view. She keeps the final step inside the lines, so everyone sees it.
In a 1:1 lesson
Your student is on an iPad. You see the dotted outline of his view and move your diagram inside it before you explain.
In a group class
Two students join on phones. The dotted lines show the shared view is small, so you write the key formula in the center.
In a virtual training
You notice your notes run past the dotted lines. You move them in, and participants on small laptops see the whole list.
In your classroom
You write the agenda inside the dotted lines on the display. Students on Chromebooks see every item.
In the training room
You keep the framework inside the dotted lines on the big screen, so participants following on laptops see all of it.
At home
Your daughter’s tablet shows less than her teacher’s screen. The teacher keeps everything inside the dotted lines.
