Equatio- Digital Math and Science Character Input Made Easy

With our students using Chromebooks, it was very difficult for them to be able to digitally input math and science characters. Equatio provides a simple interface where they have multiple options on how to input- written on device, written on mobile device, autofill, typing, etc. Once the interface loads, it is very intuitive. As well, it works with Google Forms which made it a lot more feasible for our math and science departments do to online quizzes. This became a key extension during the pandemic and has continued to be used since our return.

This allowed us to increase students inputting math digitally for assessment and for student work. Since it has handwriting recognition, it allowed students to write the math but the teacher be able to easily read it after it converted the text into clear characters. As well, the ability to go back and make changes made life much easier for them to continue to make updates to assignments and activities afterwards.
