samjshah does a high school mathematics teaching roundup.
Technical setup
For bad internet
Richard Wong suggests how to record things for the bandwidthistically challenged which realistically includes many students and some teachers.. Teaching in the Time of Coronavirus, Part I, noting the importance of:
- posting your lecture notes online
- making lecture slides (and posting them online)
- recording your lecture
Math-friendly chat options
- Zulip support mathematics
- I believe Overleaf also has an integrated mathematical chat.
- Gitter has mathematical support
- Stackoverflow teams support mathematical markup
Whiteboard
See online whiteboards.
Videoconferencing
There are many generic videoconferencing options. I like Jitsi since the other ones are privacy horrors. Social dynamics of online presentation can be tricky.
Webcams
See webcams
Screencasting
Drawing input devices
