Second, I need to figure out a way to hold the iPad such that I can write clearly AND the camera is pointed at my face so students can see me. There’s plenty of room on the screen–Zoom just needs to tweak their software. First, I want to see my whole class (16 students this term) at the same time as I see the slides I’m sharing. There’s still plenty of room for improvement. The Pencil support was perfect, ATL Free Wifi was solid, and Zoom’s iOS app is excellent. I landed in Atlanta at 9:30am, made my way to a quiet spot in the International Terminal and proceded to teach my 10am class solely on the iPad Pro.

On Wednesday morning, I flew to my first economics teaching conference ( CTREE 2016, full report coming soon). I never want to go through that experience again. To make matters worse, Duet decided to spontaneously log me out of my Mac twice in the middle of the class. Try writing an equation on paper and erasing the first centimeter of every stroke and you’ll find it’s almost unintelligble. Like the first centimeter of most strokes is ignored lousy. Unfortunately, the Apple Pencil support with Duet is lousy.

I subsituted the iPad Pro for the Cintiq, and used the Duet app to extend my Mac’s screen. Of course the Cintiq was also an expensive beast that didn’t travel well. The picture on the Cintiq was good enough and the latency wasn’t bad. I could see all my students in a big grid on the laptop screen, while I annotated my shared slides and did math problems on the Cintiq.

The Zoom video conferencing software was rock solid and my 13” Wacom Cintiq did double duty as an external screen and writing surface. Last year the technology worked pretty well. There was no way I wasn’t going to integrate into my summer work. I borrowed one all spring and really enjoyed teaching my in-person classes with it. So much screen real estate and a stylus that really does feel like a pencil on paper with it’s super-low latency and pressure sensitivity.

I’ve already got the bumps and bruises to prove it, but I’m also so close to distance teaching nirvana I can taste it. He doesn’t run or cycle as much as he should.Never content to leave well enough alone, I’m using a raft of bleeding edge technology this summer as I teach online.
