[Athen] PhotoMath App

[Ron Stewart]

For me this falls into marketing hype.  My experience so far with these kinds of tools is that they really do not do what they need to do in a way that is effective in the educational space.

 

If anyone has actually played with this I would love to hear about your experiences.

What do we think of this app?

Based on the review only (no testing), I'm disinclined to recommend this to students.
