Derek was fantastic and positive. Never made me feel incompetent and that is important for me who lacks confidence in math.

Derek said I did my problem right, I thought I did it wrong. SO he was a great help checking my work.

File sharing and pasting clipped pictures needs improved. Can't file share and pics are blurry. Eraser needs improved, does not work well. Dereck was great!

allow for laptops than are touchscreen to be able to draw on the boards. I have a touchscreen lenova and I tried using my pen to draw on the boards but it wouldnt let me I had to use a mouse. Also we should be able to re-edit text boxes after clicking out of the box and change the font size of the text box
