Now I am logged into my bit paper account. And because I'm
using their free account, I only have one bit paper. And if you
want to use the free account, I will show you a very important
thing so that you don't lose your single bit paper because
you won't be able to create second big paper within a month.
But first, what I'm going
to do in this video is I'm going to use this wacom tablet, this
is wacom intuous tablet. And I have introduced this tablet in
one of my other videos. And for teaching
mathematics. This is one of the best
tool you can purchase
it has a pen as you can see, this is the pen
you can write on this tablet. And whatever you write will be
written on the big paper or any whiteboard application which you
want to use, you can use Google jam board or Microsoft
whiteboard or in classflow whiteboard. So no matter which
whiteboard application you are going to use this tablet will
help you write on that application very easily. And I
will show you how both student and teacher can work on same bit
paper
simultaneously. And
this is one of the powerful thing about this application
that it is a collaborative whiteboard. It is not just any
digital whiteboard application, you can collaborate on this
pitch paper. And therefore this is one of the best whiteboard
application for tutoring online. And now I'm going to explain the
features of bit paper. But before that, if this is your
first time, please hit the subscribe button and also the
notification bell and click on all notifications so that you
don't miss any video if you are interested in online teaching,
or tutoring. And now I will explain features of bit paper.
So I double clicked My only bit paper. And no, I have this white
paper in front of me. And by using my
pen, I can write on this,
let us assume I'm teaching mathematics.
So I can start writing
math equations straight away.
And when you are using this tablet and pen, make sure that
you are looking at the whiteboard, not only your
tablet, because otherwise you won't be able to write properly.
And no, on the right hand side, I have this number one, it means
that I have only one page in this paper, then there is a
little arrow if I click on that no a second page has been
created, I can go back to my first page. And in this manner,
you can create as many pages as you like. So let's go back to
the page number one, and I have these three dots. And no These
options are here, I can duplicate this page as well. And
I can also insert a new page after this page by clicking on
this plus sign, no first thing you might want to change the
color of your text to do that, at the bottom, on the left
corner, you have these Color Settings. If I click on that, on
the left hand side, I can choose the color of my pen. So let's
take this pink color. And no I can
write with this color.
In order to change the thickness of the pen, we have this bar
here. And if I move this slider, it will show me the current
thickness. And let's say I move to eight. And now my thickness
will be different. At the bottom. This is the eraser, and
it is a
width is controlled by this. So
let's take a smaller width and use the eraser. So this is the
width at the moment. And by increasing this, you can have a
large eraser.
So if you want to delete a lot of things,
no, when teaching mathematics to primary school students, it is
sometimes necessary to have a grid here. Let's say you are
teaching students of grade one. And you might want to have a
grid here on the page. And it is very easy on the left hand side.
The second icon is backgrounds and grids. And if I click on
that, no, I can set the background color. So if I click
on background, I have nearly in finite colors available. So
let's take this blue color. And know there are two sliders which
control the spacing horizontal and vertical spacing. And there
is one slider which controls the line width, you can also change
the color of the lines. Let's take yellow color for the lines.
I keep the line width at one and currently my vertical spacing
and horizontal spacing is zero. So I increase the vertical
spacing to let's say four to five. And I want to keep my
horizontal spacing equal to the vertical spacing so that I could
have square grids and now I can click on done and I have this
grid with a beautiful background color.
Now in order to
start writing, I have to go back to this pen icon and on the pen
icon There is a small scale like icon is here. And if I hover
over this, it will show me draw straight lines. If I click on
this, it will become gray. And it means no it is selected. And
no, I can draw the straight lines. And now if I click on
here,
as you can see, I have clicked and I am dragging my pen, and a
straight line is being drawn. And you can also see the angle
of the state line. So if you want to draw,
let's say,
a triangle at a particular angle,
for example, if you are teaching trigonometry,
you can do that draw a straight line at a particular angle, and
then you click at the endpoint and start drawing another
straight line, then you go to the first and just join it, you
don't have to worry. And you can draw lines at a particular
angle. Though in this color settings, we also have a small
icon, which is the highlighter. And if I click on this, no, it
is selected. And now I can highlight anything if I want.
And now I'm just trying to highlight any particular area.
And if I click on this color settings, I can change the width
of the highlighter here, my highlighter was very thin. If I
want a thicker highlighter, I can increase the width and bit
paper allows us to change the opacity of the highlighter
as well. And now I selected the pen. And let's say write
something else. And no, I use the highlighter, because I have
increased the width. So hopefully, I can highlight this
straight away in one go. Then there is a pan feature. So if I
click on this pan when it is green and white, it means it is
selected. And now I can drag this page to the left to the
right or anywhere I want. So basically, and in finite width
and height is available. I click on arrays, and I remove this dot
from here. Now we have discussed this grid. And now let us see
how you can upload a file in big paper. So I click on that the
first icon on the left, and now I upload a file. So I click on
Upload Files. And I have selected these few examples. Let
us start with this example one, and I open it No, it will show
me these two options, just upload or upload and expand. So
let us have a look at both of these. So first I just upload.
So on the left hand side as you can see that this file has been
uploaded, if I want to show my students something on this
particular file, and then want to solve any problem, I can do
it right now they can see the file on the left hand side and I
can solve the problem. For example, let's solve this first
one. So I select the pen from here, and students can see that
the solution of root x is equal to five, what is the value of x
and I can explain that if root of x is five, we can take the
square on both sides. So this will become x and this will
become 25. So this is the answer. So one way is doing like
this, you can show the material just by uploading as a file, and
you can explain on your bit paper. And now when I hover over
this, I will see this span icon again, our move icon. And now if
I click it will show me this expand option once again. And
this was the second option when we started to upload the file.
So I click on that expand. And this time, my file has moved
inside the page of the bid paper. If I click on this, I can
drag it and I can place it anywhere I want. And as you can
see that a new page has been added into my bid paper. And now
if I click outside, it will be placed here. And now if I select
my pen, make sure that you select the pen, I can explain
anything on this file, if I want to do this way. So this is also
a very powerful feature that you can upload a PDF because
normally I create all my PDFs before the start of a course all
the resources and course material I create and I save in
particular folders because I like PDF format. And most of my
files I try to put in a PDF format. And here that PDF is
acting just like an image. And if I click on the eraser, and I
started raising as you can see that I can erase anything,
including the background of the page. So I really like this
feature of bit paper that you can upload a file and treat it
as an image and you can explain anything on top of that one of
the fantastic feature for tutoring online. On the right
hand side I have these two arrows for Undo and Redo. So if
I click on do my images again, back to the previous situation,
if you are using the paid version, then you can call your
students as well from within the application. If I click Kill,
Noy can start a call if I have a paid bid paper account. But if I
click now, it will show me this message that there is no card
information. So I have to put the credit card, but their rates
are very nominal. And if I click on this arrow, as you can see
that these are their plan basic plan starts from $1 per month,
so it's very affordable. And if you pay $10 per month, you can
have basic plus calls. So I think this is a very good option
for online tutoring in $10 per month, you can have a wonderful
application, lightweight and low latency whiteboard application,
because sometimes tutor complain that their students are unable
to see the things happening at the same time when they are
talking. So that is because of latency issues. No I click
outside, the way you start teaching is by clicking on this
collaborate icon. And this is the most important thing you
have to do, you have to copy this link of your bid paper with
Ctrl C. And then you can send this link to your students and
they will be able to join you on your bid paper where you can
start tutoring and know there are two more icons which we have
not discussed. One is this text icon. If I click on that, no, I
can tap on this paper. And this text box will appear where I can
start typing any text I want. I can change the font size. And I
can also use some symbols. If I click on symbols, some Greek
symbols will appear here, which is a fantastic thing to have in
particular for teaching mathematics, and then simply
click Done. Besides this text, there is a shift icon if I click
on that, and then I click on this little icon at the top
right, I have all the shapes available. For example, let's
click on this. And now I can draw this image simply by
clicking and dragging. So I click at any place and then I
drag my pen. And this shape is drawn very simple. I can also
draw any arrow shape. So let's draw this one. And in order to
move this area, I can pan and I can go to any other area of the
paper. And I can draw any other shape if I want very simple. So
you can draw shapes, you can write text. And now the last
icon on the left hand side is this toggle menu. If I click on
that, here is the very important point which you should never
miss. If you are on a free account, make sure that when you
create a paper, you must save the paper. This is what bit
paper recommend. And here we have few more options, you can
click on your account and you can see some details. If you are
on a paid account, you can create a new paper or you can
create the PDF. So let's create this PDF. And it will show me
this message only the area currently displayed on each page
will be exported to PDF. So if I want, I can click on this print,
and it will print the PDF. So let's click on this print. And
now it is asking me to save the PDF. I save it in this bit paper
folder. And now this is the PDF. So I click on this. And as you
can see that I have got four pages PDF and whatever was
displayed on my pages has been printed in this PDF. I also have
this watermark. And I'm sure that if you purchase the period
account, this watermark will be removed my first page, my second
and third page are empty. As you can see this is a third page.
And my last page has this shapes and the PDF.
So this
is how you can export your bit paper in the form of a PDF
document. Your students can export this and they can use
this as their future reference, very useful feature. And now I
can close this, close this as well. So I hope that I have
covered most of these features. If I have missed anything,
please put in the comments and we can discuss this further. If
you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. Thanks for
watching and see you next time.
