Hi, all!
We hope you had a wonderful week! We are very excited about the launch of the new Live Whiteboard feature! We have heard from many of you that it has improved session efficiency and overall quality. Another update is coming soon that will allow students to undo/erase their own work followed by additional student tools (different pen colors, straight lines, etc). We will keep you posted on the timeline of those further improvements. Please take a few moments to provide your feedback on the Live Whiteboard. Thank you for your continued dedication to ensuring that every student is empowered to learn!
Tutor Spotlight
Congratulations to our tutor spotlight: Shernice Kramer! Shernice submitted an outstanding session she had with a student where they worked together to dilate a triangle. Shernice commented that in this session “the student had some difficulty with finding the image of the translated figure. Despite making a few errors, she preserved on and remained positive, managing to solve her problem. She was also willing to do some additional work to practice her understanding on the topic more.” Shernice expertly navigated the student through productive struggle with a positive tone and genuine encouragement. The student reflected on her time with Shernice by sharing “she was a very nice tutor and helped me do a practice problem just to make sure I really understood the concept I was struggling with!”. Shernice’s ability to build rapport with the student provided a safe space to struggle, persevere, and learn. Well done, Shernice and thank you for sharing!

Rotate Image Tool
Check out the Google chrome extension: Image Rotate Context. This allows you to right-click and then rotate an image right or left.
This can be helpful when reviewing submitted images from students. When you install the extension, you have to restart your computer for the tool to start working correctly. Hope this helps improve your tutoring experience!
