Welcome back, everyone! Over the summer, I was looking for an app that allows sketching on PDF, PPT or other office files. In my classes, I usually display the teaching materials through PowerPoint. Most of the time, I would roll up the screen and let the materials projected onto the whiteboard. With this setup, I can explain the materials better by writing comments directly on the board while having the teaching materials as a background. But it is not comfortable to teach with the bright light shining on me all the time. So I explored the possibility of delivering the materials through iPad with the sketching app. The app I found is called “Wireshare”. It allows sketching on PDF files on iPad. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow sketching on PowerPoint files. But guess what! I can always convert the ppt files to PDF format. Another great feature about this app is that it can transfer my files directly from the computer to the iPad through wifi without using dropbox or some cloud storage services.
If you know any other sketching apps for Words, Excel, or any MS packages, please let me know too.
