How It Works
Students can:
Take a photo of handwritten work.
Upload the image directly to the canvas.
Continue solving or submitting their work digitally.
Once uploaded, the image appears directly on the drawboard for teacher review.
Automatic Scanning and Cropping
When a photo is taken, Magma automatically:
scans the paper
crops the image
focuses on the student work area
This helps:
reduce background distractions
improve readability
minimize accidental face capture
create cleaner uploaded submissions
Students also do not need to hold the paper while capturing the image, making the process faster and easier.
Best Practices for Clear Uploads
For the best scan quality:
use vertical white paper
ensure good lighting
avoid covering the paper with hands
maintain a stable internet connection
Why Teachers Use It
Snap and Share supports students who prefer solving problems on paper while still submitting work digitally.
Teachers gain:
better visibility into student thinking
more complete solution evidence
additional instructional insight
easier review of handwritten work alongside digital responses
This creates a more flexible and accessible problem-solving experience for students and teachers alike.
