Bring your iPad or tablet into your online lessons. Pair it with your computer to write with a stylus, annotate lesson materials, and work through problems with your students.

Whether you're explaining a tricky concept or guiding a student through an exercise, Device Pairing gives you another way to demonstrate ideas and write naturally while keeping your Lessonspace classroom open on your main device.

Your paired iPad or tablet follows your view as you lead the lesson, displaying the apps you open. You can still switch to another tab whenever you need to.

You can manage access to Device Pairing through your organization's Lessonspace dashboard, where you can choose whether students, teachers, and admins can use the feature.
