Adding new pages while delivering a lesson

When you're delivering a lesson, you can add the following types of pages to a Lumio lesson:

  • A blank whiteboard page, where you can write and draw to quickly illustrate concepts to students or that students at the interactive display can use to add their own thoughts

  • A Whole-class Whiteboard activity, where students use their devices to contribute to a shared whiteboard page by adding digital ink, text, and images

  • A Shout It Out! activity where students can contribute text or images to a brainstorming session

  • A Desmos graphing calculator activity for graphing functions, plotting data, and evaluating equations

If you want to quickly illustrate a concept during a lesson, you can insert a blank whiteboard page and draw on it.

Note 

These pages are view-only for students.

  2. Select Whiteboard.

While you’re presenting a lesson to your class, you can add a Desmos graphing calculator to model concepts for your students.
