Back to School with Texthelp: featuring EquatIO

Making math digital with EquatIO

Wed 27th Feb - 4.30pm to 5.15pm Australian Daylight Saving Time (DST)

About the Webinar
Join Texthelp’s Maths Product Manager, John McGowan as he leads this session exploring EquatIO, our revolutionary tool that is helping to make maths digital and accessible for nearly 2.5 million educators and students around the world.

EquatIO takes the pain out of creating digital maths for teachers and allows students to respond digitally to maths assessments and collaborative teaching and learning activities.

John will walk attendees through all the groundbreaking new features we’ve added, including Screenshot Reader, integration with the PDF Reader, multi-line input and so much more. Plus, you'll receive some examples and best practices for integrating EquatIO into your lesson plans.

Greg O’Connor, Texthelp’s AsiaPac EdTech Manager, will also share examples of using Read&Write alongside EquatIO in maths classrooms, as research has shown that mathematics textbooks contain more concepts per sentence and paragraph than any other type of text. In addition, many maths texts are written above the grade level for which they are intended (Barton & Heidema, 2002). Read&Write offers the support needed to ensure that your students aren’t left behind in maths because of literacy challenges.

We’ve aligned the content for this webinar with the AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and the New Zealand Professional Learning Standards so you can rest assured there will be lots of practical implications for your classroom.
