Ok, so I am having some trouble with the format of OpenStudy when it comes to: Drawing figures, inputting signs and (/=, x^2, etc.), and in general - explaining ideas that take me about 10X as long on the computer than just to write it down on paper.

My question is: Is there a way to write down the problem that is being asked, on paper - solve it, walk through steps, etc. and then take a picture with my phone, upload it, and have the student able to click and see, or just "see" what I have worked out on paper in a quick, simple, and easy way?

take a screen shot of graphs that I have input into GraphCalc, but am having trouble marking on the graphs what I would like to show in the solution. 

It's really frustrating! I just would like to work out my stuff on paper (since I have awesome handwriting skills), and can work out the problems more accurately; also show the step by steps in much more simple, comprehensive, and effective ways) and then somehow make what I have on paper available to answer the question. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

U can scan ur paper and upload it as an attachment.

U can also use LaTeX for making inputs like $X^2,X_2$ a bit easier.

You can write it and attach files, there's a button by the equation, draw, so you can take a picture and upload it. Or you can also do it on paint or something and attach a file. 
Latex works very well, as @Abhisar mentioned ^.^

Scanning the paper would take a really long time... Is there no way to take a photo of picture or paper and just load the attachment somehow in like less than 60 seconds? Lol... I will find a way! Again, if anyone has any suggestions of how it can be done, please help!

Acceptable - Take pic with phone, upload to format that is attachable/clickable, and able to be seen by anyone who clicks the link. Less than 2 minutes from picture -> Clickable link.

Ideal - Take pic with phone, have it auto upload as a picture (so that no clicking is necessary) to see the picture in less than 60 seconds.

Yes you can take a pic, also you can send the pic to your email and just take the file and upload it, there's a million ways to do this XD

Ok cool, so is there a way you can take a picture with phone and have it send the picture to email using some sort of script or online program so all you have to do is take picture and it shows up in email? 

Better yet, is there a way to take a pic with phone and have it save as the attachment immediately? Or am I being too lazy/hopeful here?

abhisar · Answer

yes take a pic, most probably in .jpg format. U can attach that file in ur replies.
