The box, where you type content is called the HTML editor. This HTML editor includes an equation editor.  Click the more button in the HTML editor tool menu. Then click the equation editor. 
  • ​Connect your PC to an iPhone/iPad
    1. Connect to the Zoom session from a computer. Then, in Zoom, click Share Screen, and then select iPhone/iPad. A wired connection is recommended... And the first time you do this, a plug-in may be required. Your PC will prompt you to download the plug-in.
    2. Then, on your iPad, use the "screen mirroring" option (swipe down from the top right corner to open the control panel, and click Screen Mirroring). Your Zoom meeting on your computer will show on your iPhone/iPad.
    3. Once you connect via screen mirroring, your iPad then shows up in a window on your computer AND shows up as a screen share to the zoom meeting participants.  You can also just record yourself and share the video on your course home page in the LMS.
