Whiteboards in #Desmos and #GeoGebra

One of the many challenges with remote instruction is finding a way for teachers to see the mathematical thinking of their students. A common workaround is for students to do their work on paper and then upload a photo of it. Unfortunately, this often results in a lousy picture in which the math is illegible.

What we need is a whiteboard that students can use. Desmos and GeoGebra are two excellent options for doing this. Both allow the students to do their work on the onscreen canvas and automatically turn in the work to the teacher. No photos necessary!
